The goddesses of the Seasons.
The Horae are the personifications of the cycle of death and rebirth and sometimes credited with social order; the daughters of Zeus and Themis; three in number and named: Dike (Justice), Eunomia (Order) and Eirene (Peace).
In The Iliad, the Horae are the attendants of the dark veil that hides the summit of Mount Olympos (Olympus).
