NYX (Bacchylides Frag 1B, Scholiast on Apoll. PERSES (Homeric Hymn 2 to Demeter 24, Orphic Hymn 1, Lycophron 1174, Apollonius Rhodius 3.1036, Diodorus Siculus 4.45.1, Ovid Metamorphoses 7.74, Seneca Medea 812) PERSES & ASTERIA (Hesiod Theogony 404, Apollodorus 1.8) Hekate was identified with a number of other goddesses including Artemis, Selene (the Moon), Despoine, the sea-goddess Krataeis (Crataeis), the goddess of the Taurian Khersonese in Skythia, the Kolkhian (Colchian) nymph Perseis, the heroine Iphigeneia, the Thracian goddesses Bendis and Kotys (Cotys), the Euboian nymph Maira (the Dog-Star), the Eleusinian nymph Daeira and the Boiotian nymph Herkyna (Hercyna). The masculine form of the name, Hekatos, was a common epithet of the god Apollon. Her name means 'worker from afar' from the Greek word hekatos. In statuary Hekate was often depicted in triple form as a goddess of crossroads. Sometimes she was dressed in a knee-length maiden's skirt and hunting boots, much like Artemis. Hekate was usually depicted in Greek vase painting as a woman holding twin torches. The polecat was either the witch Gale, turned as punishment for her incontinence, or Galinthias, midwife of Alkmene (Alcmena), who was transformed by the enraged goddess Eileithyia but adopted by the sympathetic Hekate. The dog was the Trojan Queen Hekabe (Hecuba) who leapt into the sea after the fall of Troy and was transformed by the goddess. Three metamorphosis myths describe the origins of her animal familiars: the black she-dog and the polecat (a mustelid house pet kept by the ancients to hunt vermin). After the mother-daughter reunion became she Persephone's minister and companion in Haides. Hekate assisted Demeter in her search for Persephone, guiding her through the night with flaming torches.

She was the only child of the Titanes Perses and Asteria from whom she received her power over heaven, earth, and sea. HEKATE (Hecate) was the goddess of magic, witchcraft, the night, moon, ghosts and necromancy.
