Atë

In Greek mythology, Ate, Até or Aite (; Ancient Greek: Ἄτη) was the goddess of mischief, delusion, ruin, and blind folly, rash action and reckless impulse who led men down the path of ruin. She also led both gods and men to rash and inconsiderate actions and to suffering. Description In the Iliad, Agamemnon describes Ate as she "that blindeth all—a power fraught with bane; delicate are her feet, for it is not upon the ground that she fareth, but she walketh over the heads of men, bringing men to harm, and this one or that she ensnareth." Family Homer called Ate the eldest daughter of Zeus, with no mother mentioned. While, according to Hesiod's Theogony, Ate was the daughter of Eris, the goddess of strife, with no father mentioned: Of these offspring of Eris, all personified abstractions, only Ate has any actual identity.
