HEKATE (HECATE) - THE GODDESS OF MAGIC - FULL STORY - GREEK MYTHOLOGY

Introducing Hekate (Hecate) from Greek mythology:
Hekate made her stylish entrance into the pages of Greek mythology through the pens of Hesiod in his “Theogony.”
Hesiod mentions:
“And She, Asteria, conceived and bore Hekate whom Zeus the son of Cronos honored above all. He gave her splendid gifts to have a share of the earth and the unfruitful sea. She also received the honor in starry heaven and was honored exceedingly by the deathless gods. To this day, whenever any one of the men on earth offers rich sacrifices and prays for favor according to custom, he calls upon Hekate.
Great honor comes full quickly to him whose prayers the goddess receives favorably. She bestows wealth upon him, for the power is with her.“
He speaks highly of Hekate and Zeus’ respect for her. In fact, Hesiod emphasizes Hekate’s importance within the pantheon multiple times, which may hint that Hesiod’s home region had traditions of worshiping the goddess of magic.
