Horae (Horai, Seasons) Goddesses of the
seasons. Classical sources are the Homeric
Hymn to Apollo (194–195), Hesiod’s Theogony
(901–906), Homer’s Iliad (5.749–751, 8.393–
395, 433–435), Ovid’s Metamorphoses (2.116–
118), Pausanias’s Description of Greece (1.Forty.Four,
2.17.Four, 5.11.7, 9.35.2), and Pindar’s Olympian
Odes (13.6–10) and Pythian Odes (9.59–65). In
Hesiod, the Horae are the daughters of Themis
(goddess of Justice or Law) and Zeus. In the
Theogony, there are three Horae; they were
named Dike (Justice), Eirene (Peace), and
Eunomia (Lawfulness) and are thus connected
to standards of rightful natural order. In other
assets, the Horae (named Auxo, Carpo, and
Thallo) are extra closely related to the developing
seasons. The Horae are also associated wit
