O to Oresteia Orestes to Ozolian
The Hours; the keepers of Heaven’s Gate; Eunomia (Harmony), Dyke (Justice) and Eirene (Peace).
The Orai assist the Olympians by organizing the Seasons and adding balance to Nature; the Orai guard Mount Olympos (Olympus) with a dark veil and open and close the gates of the sky for the other Immortals as they travel to and from their domains.
In The Iliad, we see the Orai personally attending Hera and her horses; they open the sky and Hera zooms from her home on Mount Olympos to Mount Ida to distract Zeus from the battle for Troy.
