Bia

Bia, in Greek mythology, personified raw force, power, and compulsion. Her influence extended beyond physical strength, encompassing the driving force that compels individuals to act and assert their will.

Flanked by her winged siblings – Nike, the embodiment of victory, Cratus, the personification of raw strength, and Zelus, the spirit of relentless rivalry – Bia, the goddess of force, stood ever-present at Zeus’ throne, their combined might a constant reminder of the king’s power.
