Andarta was a warrior goddess thought to have been associated with victory.

A goddess worshipped in Roman times by Celtic peoples on the British isles, only recently rediscovered by historians. Though little is understood about her -- most of what we know comes from a single archeological finding -- she seems to have been a virgin goddess, analogous to the Greek Athena, Roman Minerva and, distantly, the Virgin Mary.

Sancho Panza was the sidekick of the fictional Don Quixote.
