Ὧραι
Wikipedia EN
In Greek mythology the Horae (/ˈhɔːriː/), Horai (/ˈhɔːraɪ/) or Hours (Greek: Ὧραι, translit. Hōrai, pronounced [hɔ̂ːraj], "Seasons") were the goddesses of the seasons and the natural portions of time.
The term hora comes from the Proto-Indo-European *yóh₁r̥ ("year").
The Horae were originally the personifications of nature in its different seasonal aspects, but in later times they were regarded as goddesses of order in general and natural justice. "They bring and bestow ripeness, they come and go in accordance with the firm law of the periodicities of nature and of life", Karl Kerenyi observed, adding "Hora means 'the correct moment'." Traditionally, they guarded the gates of Olympus, promoted the fertility of the earth, and rallied the stars and constellations.
