Since the fifth century BCE, Hecate has been associated with magic, witchcraft, the moon, and other dark influences. Although they combined her with Diana and Artemis, the Romans also worshipped this deity, referred to her as Trivia, which means three ways. However, she is believed to be protective of human beings. Due to her dark attributes, this deity has often been associated with the Underworld. Her symbols were two torches, the crossroads, and black dogs. Hecate was said to be a beautiful lady with dark hair. Some myths suggest that Zeus and Hera were the parents of this Goddess, and that is how she came to control the heavens and the earth. This is how she came to command the earth, bliss, and sea. This could be because she sided with him during the 10-year battle between the Titans and the Olympians. ![]() The chief Greek god, Zeus, was very fond of this Goddess and gave her a share of the earth and sea. The Goddess Hecate is supposed to be the daughter of Perses, a Titan, and Asteria, a nymph. Hectate is derived from the Greek word 'hekatos,' which 'means worker from afar.' The masculine form of this word is said to be used for Apollo, one of the Greek gods. Some depictions show the Goddess with the head of a dog, horse, and lion, which could be the constellations during the year. Some experts believe that the three heads or faces of the Goddess Hecate denote the full, half, and new moon. As she is said to be the guardian of the crossroads, she is most often depicted with three faces and carrying torches or a key. She is capable of both good and evil and is most often associated with magic and witchcraft. Hecate is one of the many goddesses in Greek mythology.
