HEKATE THE TRIPLE MOTHER
HEKATE THE TRIPLE MOTHER

Summary/Abstract: This study aims to propose a paradigm of understanding the cult of Hekate in Greek and Roman Antiquity, using epigraphic and literary sources, and, also the psychological tools of explaining the symbols used in myth. The main problems are the uncertainity of Hekate's original homeland, the links between Homeric Hymn to Demeter and the Orphic Hymn and the archetypal structures related to the Godess in Antiquity and Middle Age and the modalities of understanding the cult which are presented in ancient Greek literature, and the concepts of border and cross roads in Greek thinking.
