These superstitions are survivals from the ancient cult of Jano to whom the peacock was sacred and
the goddess in many of their pain- tings and sculptures made for protective purposes. Elworthy says with regard to the superstition that peacock feathers bring bad luck that Juno's anger is excited in some way by the plucking of the feathers of her favourite bird; while the idea that so long as they are kept in the house no suitor will come for the daughters points to the old attribute of spite and jealousy in love or matters with which the goddess was always accredited.”.
