Much better than the fates most gods would give you. A life as a magic pet cat sounds pretty fun honestly.

*She likes to keep people as pets*

"Hecate, what the hell is that"
"My new dog.
"Please! She won't stop feeding me fucking liver-"
"Shatup, dogs don't talk.

[RDeathmark]

Mythology guy: "Not sure how to feel about that"

Me: "is she currently looking for another?"

I think when Circe was her pupil, before she was immortal, she probably obsessed with the animal part of Hecate's lessons.

[marista]

Hecate originated the trope of witches turning people into animals (as in media where witches turn people into toads)
Hecate: I WILL GET YOU MY PRETTY AND TURN YOU INTO A LITTLE DOG TOO

So, Hecate is gonna catch 'em all😏😉?

Almost 1 am in Poland and I'm watching this. What is wrong with my life?

[madhattergodess]

Maybe its so that they will not be lonely. As she might be the only sentient creature who can talk them.

So one of Hecate's pets was basically the Ancient Greek equivalent of Salem from Sabrina?

I wish I'd learned this earlier in the semester. I'm doing a character design for a play about Troy in school. I could've used this.

Ok so like a lot of folk getting the picture she’s mean. SHE IS NOT like literally she’s one of the few Greek Gods well God/Titan that hates drama and usually keeps to herself but her familiars were usually in most stories already turned by the Gods as punishment which she took in out of pity or she turned them because they asked for it as escape from something. And further more many used to worship her for vengeance against wrongdoers. Hope I help teach ya something if u didn’t know ☺️

As long as I get to learn magic from her I'll be her pet as long as she wants.

[AshaMoothedath]

Hecate is one badass goddess for sure! She was also the one who helped Demeter find her daughter who was taken to the underworld. And also one of the few that Zeus does not mess with!

[knightmare]

Okay. It's




She's in my favorite Greek diety list now. Alongside, Nyx, Hades, Hephastus and Hestia.

[GemGirl]

Honestly, she is now one of my new favorite goddesses.

Hecate saved Hecuba when she threw herself out of the ship, with the intention of killing herself, because Odysseus had taken her captive. She also made Odysseus give her offerings to appease her rage

[desi_paris]

Imagine being her child so you get to go to Hogwarts and Camp Half Blood

[kenzv]

If she ever turn me into an animal, I wanted to be a bird familiar just so that i can fly and since I'm a magic bird I wanna shoot magic from my mouth.

I mean if it's saving them from their despair it is good is it not? perhaps an odd way to handle the situation, but a way to handle it nonetheless
