THE HORAE

The Horae are the Olympian goddess of season, a group of divinities related to the Olympian gods, an extra-dimensional race of beings who were worshipped by the ancient Greeks and Romans. In Ancient Greece, they were personifications of the seasons of the year (spring, summer and winter), but during the Roman Empire, they took on more power as companions of Hera, whom they were supposed to have reared in the practice of her powers. In some texts, there were only three Horae with a fourth member, Tyche, the goddess of fortune, later added as a representative of winter. 

The Horae are the daughters of Zeus, Ruler of the Olympian gods, and Themis, one of the Titans who Zeus took as his second wife. They are the younger sisters of the Fates, known to the Asgardian gods as the Norns. On his twelfth labor, Hercules visited the Horae near the Po river (modern Eridanus) for the location of the Garden of the Hesperides, but they either refused or were unable to tell him, instead directing them to get the secret from the old sea god, Nereus.

The Horae possesses the conventional physical attributes of the Olympian gods. Like all Olympians, they are immortal: they have not aged since reaching adulthood and cannot die by any conventional means. They are immune to all Earthly diseases and are resistant to conventional injury. If one of the Horae were somehow wounded, her godly life force would enable her to recover with superhuman speed. It would take an injury of such magnitude that it dispersed a major portion of her bodily molecules to cause her a physical death. Even then, it might be possible for a god of significant power, such as Zeus, Poseidon and Apollo or for a number of Olympian gods of equal power working together to revive her. The Horae also possess superhuman strength and their Olympian metabolism provides them with far greater than human endurance in all physical activities. (Olympian flesh and bone is about three times as dense as similar human tissue, contributing to the superhuman strength and weight of the Olympian gods.)
