Horae
The Horae, the goddesses of seasons and natural order, oversaw the changing of seasons, ensuring the fertility of the earth and the smooth passage of time.
Residence: Mount Olympus
Symbols: Fruit
Parents: Zeus and Themis
Siblings: The Moirae
The Horae orchestrated the revolutions of the heavenly constellations, their luminous dance marking the passage of the year. While their three sisters, the Moirae, spinned out the web of fate, the Horae guarded the gates of Olympus and marshalled the stars and constellations of heaven.
Eunomia (Good Order), Eirene (Peace), and Dike (Justice) – these three Horae weren’t just abstract concepts, but blessings vital to a farmer’s life. Eunomia ensured the predictable cycle of seasons, Eirene fostered the peace needed for crops to flourish, and Dike guaranteed the just rewards for their labor.
