ATE

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 824 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ARN-AUD
ATE , in
Greek
  mythology, the personification of criminal folly, the daughter of Zeus and Eris (Strife). She misled even Zeus to take a hasty oath, whereby Heracles became subject to Eurystheus. Zeus thereupon cast her by the
hair
  out of
Olympus
 , , whither she did not return, but remained on earth, working evil and
mischief
  (Iliad, xix. 91). She is followed by the Litae (Prayers), the old and crippled daughters of Zeus, who are able to repair the evil done by her (Iliad, ix. 502). In later times Ate is regarded as the avenger of sin (Sophocles, Antigone, 614, 625).
