Belladonna was a Roman goddess, not a Greek.
Also, belladonna is a poisonous herb. Witches are supposed to use it to get into a trance or something.

The only belladonna I know is the nightshade plant and a rock/pop group. Would like to know who this goddess is.

Belladonna (from the Italian expression "bella donna", beautiful woman) is another name for Deadly nightshade (Atropa belladonna), a well-known, hardy perennial shrub, a member of the nightshade family. It was the original source of atropine.

This is not a Greek goddess or any other type. It is an Italian phrase for "beautiful lady". It is also a plant used in medicine.

belladonna is a plant. the origin of the name is italian/latin. there is certainly not a greek goddess with that name. if u heard that name in 'xena', please keep in mind that this show invents its own gods and does not refer to greek mythology.

That is a plant whose narcotic derivative makes the pupils dilate, which is why the name means "pretty lady".
