Back

Entering the Mythic Age with Gaia you may choose between Atlas and Hekate. Hekate was the goddess of the night, ghosts, and magic, and was associated with crossroads. A three-faced statue of Hekate, show a dog, a lion (or snake), and a mare was placed where three roads met. She was said to appear when the Moon went into eclipse and was accompanied by two ghost dogs.

From her parents, the Titans Perses and Asteria, she inherited powers over the earth, sea, and heavens. Her three head were thought to represent Luna in heaven, Artemis on Earth, and Persephone in the underworld. She assisted Demeter in her search for Persephone and after their reunion became Persephone's companion in Hades. She is often portrayed carrying two torches.

Myth Unit

Lampades were the attendants of Hekate, an unbound Titaness, gifts from Zeus for her allegiance in the Titanomachy. The Lampades served their mistress unflinchingly, bearing torches for her through the dark places of the earth and underworld. The light of their torches brought visions to mortals, which often brought about madness. The Lampades defended Hekate with their torches just as the Titaness herself fought in the wars of the gods.
