Personifications in Greek mythology

Metis (mythology)5 minMetis, in the words of the poet Hesiod, was 'wiser than gods and mortal men.' Yet for most of her existence she was hidden beneath the inward parts of Zeus, the king of the gods. Her name, Μῆτις in ancient Greek, translates as Wisdom,…
Eros9 minEros, the Greek god of love and sex, has been worshipped, argued over, and reimagined for roughly three thousand years, and the figure most people picture today, a chubby cherub clutching a bow on Valentine's Day cards, barely resembles…
Uranus (mythology)9 minUranus is one of the oldest divine figures in Greek religion, a being so ancient and so vast that he was not a god who ruled the sky but the sky itself. In Hesiod's Theogony, the foundational text that Greeks came to treat as the standard…
Themis7 minThemis, the Greek goddess of divine law, had a name the scholar Moses Finley called "untranslatable." Writing about Homer's use of the word in the 8th century BCE, Finley found it could mean "right custom, proper procedure, social order."…
Eos9 minEos, the Greek goddess of the dawn, rose every morning from the edge of the river Oceanus and scattered light across the sky before her brother Helios, the sun god, could begin his own journey. She is rosy-fingered, saffron-robed,…

Helios13 minHelios, the Greek god who personifies the Sun, is invoked in one ancient ritual text with remarkable vividness: "a youth, fair to behold, with fiery hair, clothed in a white tunic and a scarlet cloak and wearing a fiery crown." The same…
Iris (mythology)2 minThe ancient Greek noun for rainbow also meant the halo of the Moon. An inscription from Corinth reveals an original form with a digamma that eventually disappeared. Scholars suggest a Proto-Indo-European pre-form exists, though some…
Oceanus13 minOceanus once heard himself mocked by his own kin: "How did you summon courage to quit the stream that bears your name and the rock-roofed caves you yourself have made...?" Ancient Greek storytellers made Oceanus a Titan, child of Uranus,…
Mnemosyne7 minMnemosyne was a Titaness in Greek mythology, and her name comes directly from the Greek word mnēmē, meaning remembrance or memory. That word did more work than most divine names ever have to. So why does a Titan, a category of god that…
Hestia10 minHestia, the Greek goddess of the hearth, holds a paradox at the center of ancient religion. She was born first among the children of the Titans Cronus and Rhea, and yet she is among the quietest of the Olympian gods. No wars, no love…
