passage from Hesiod describing the dominion of Hekate over gods and men, throughout the three worlds.


"Phoebe received Coeus' passionate embraces; God and Goddess united in love, and she conceived and bore Leto, the Goddess with the azure robe - Leto always mild, mild from the day she was born, the gentlest of all on Olympus, kind to men and to Gods. She also bore Asteria, honored name, whom Perses took to his great house to be his wedded wife. Asteria conceived and gave birth to Hecate, whom Zeus the son of Cronus exalted above all with honors. He gave her fine gifts: he assigned to her rights both in the earth and in the barren sea, and the immortal Gods honor her greatly. To this day men on earth call on Hecate whenever they wish to make propitiation with the rich sacrificial offerings which the law commands. The man whose prayer is favorably received by the Goddess acquires great honor and wealth with ease. Such is the power of Hecate; she has a share in the rights and privileges of every one of the Gods born of Earth and Sky. Nor did Zeus forcibly deprive her of the properties she had received at the hands of the earlier generation of the Gods, the Titans; she still retains rights on earth and in the sky and on the sea, as assigned in the beginning by the first division of powers. Nor is her rank diminished because she is the only child of her mother; rather it is increased because Zeus honors her. She greatly aids and blesses her favorites: she sits beside kings in the judgement seat to give them majesty, and in the assembly of the people her favorite is conspicuous. When men put on their armor and make themselves ready for war, which destroys so many, Hecate with her generous aid enables her favorites to win victory and obtain glory. The Goddess can if she wishes help bless a contestant in the games: his strength and vigor win an easy victory and he happily carries home a fine prize and brings honor on his parents. And when men who work on the dark and treacherous sea pray to Hecate and to Poseidon, the God whose mighty blows make the earth quake, the great Goddess can easily give them a plentiful catch; or, if she wishes, she can easily take it away from before their eyes. Along with Hermes, she has the power to make the animals on the farm multiply: if she wishes she can make cattleherds and flocks of mountain goats and woolly sheep greatly increase or diminish. Thus hecate, though the only child of her mother, is endowed with every privilege which the Gods possess."

Yes, Tim! This was pointed out to me not too long after I posted all those links/deity threads, either here or on the Silvanus tribe. That is such a great site, so I hope they get it back online soon. Have you seen it before?

In the meantime, if anyone wants to add other links or written info or thoughts in these threads, they should feel free to contribute!

Thanks,
Badger

Yup, Rory, I got that too. Sorry!
