| ENT_LITAE | SRC_HOMER_ILIAD_ODYSSEY | direct attestation | Litae (Prayers personified) are described in Phoenix's speech (Iliad IX.502-512): they are the daughters of Zeus, "crippled and wrinkled and squint-eyed," who follow behind Ate (Ruin) and heal the damage she causes; this is their only Homeric attestation and the primary ancient text for their existence |
