| ENT_HECATE | SRC_HESIOD_THEOGONY | direct attestation | Theogony 411-452: Hecate receives the longest individual praise passage in the Theogony — "Hecate whom Zeus the son of Cronos honoured above all" (412); Zeus gave her a share of the honors of earth, sea, and starry sky; she aids those who pray to her in all domains (war, athletics, fishing, herding, judgment, children); daughter of Titan Perses and the Titaness Asteria; Hesiod is the earliest and most complete ancient theological account of Hecate's power; the Chthonic/liminal aspects attested in later sources build on this foundation |
