Arae

  • Greek Mythology Deities

In Greek mythology, the Arae were female spirits of curses. They were particularly associated with curses placed by the dead upon people guilty of causing their deaths, and they were linked to the underworld. The Arae could also curse men in a manner compared with the threatened punishment by the cattle of the sun god Helios in Homer's Odyssey.
