In Greek mythology the Horae or Horai or Hours were the goddesses of the seasons and the natural portions of time. The word "Horae" comes from the Proto-Indo-European stem *Hioh1-r- "year." They were the personifications of nature in its different seasonal aspects, but in times they were regarded as goddesses of order in general and natural justice. "They bring and bestow ripeness, they come and go in accordance with the firm law of the periodicities of nature and of life", Karl Kerenyi observed: "Hora means'the correct moment'." Traditionally, they guarded the gates of Olympus, promoted the fertility of the earth, rallied the stars and constellations. The course of the seasons was symbolically described as the dance of the Horae, they were accordingly given the attributes of spring flowers and graceful freshness. For example, in Hesiod's Works and Days, the fair-haired Horai, together with the Charites and Peitho crown Pandora—she of "all gifts"—with garlands of flowers. Aphrodite, emerging from the sea and coming ashore at Cyprus, is dressed and adorned by the Horai, according to a surviving fragment of the epic Cypria, Aphrodite wore clothing made for her by the Charites and Horai, dyed with spring flowers, such as the Horai themselves wear.

The number of Horae varied according to different sources, but was most three: either the trio of Thallo and Carpo or Eunomia and her sisters Dike and Eirene. In Argos, two Horae, rather than three, were recognised winter and summer: Auxesia and Damia. In late euhemerist interpretations, they were seen as Cretan maidens who were worshipped as goddesses after they had been wrongfully stoned to death; the earliest written mention of Horai is in the Iliad where they appear as keepers of Zeus's cloud gates. "Hardly any traces of that function are found in the subsequent tradition," Karl Galinsky remarked in passing. They were daughters of half-sisters to the Moirai; the Horai are mentioned in two aspects in Hesiod and the Homeric Hymns: in one variant emphasizing their fruitful aspect, Thallo and Carpo—the goddesses of the three seasons the Greeks recognized: spring and autumn—were worshipped amongst rural farmers throughout Greece. Of the first, more familiar, triad associated with Aphrodite and Zeus is their origins as emblems of times of life, growth: Thallo or Thalatte was the goddess of spring and blooms, a protector of youth.

Auxo or Auxesia was worshipped in Athens as one of their two Charites, Auxo was the Charis of spring and Hegemone was the Charis of autumn. One of the Horae, the goddess and personification of the season of summer. Carpo, Carpho or Xarpo was the one who brings food and was in charge of autumn and harvesting, as well as guarding the way to Mount Olympus and letting back the clouds surrounding the mountain if one of the gods left, she was an attendant to Persephone and Hera, was associated with Dionysus and Pan. At Athens, two Horae: Thallo and Carpo appear in rites of Attica noted by Pausanias in the 2nd century AD. Thallo and Carpo are accompanied by Chione, a daughter of Boreas and Orithyia/ Oreithyia, the goddess/personification of snow and winter. Along with Chione, Thallo and Carpo were a part of the entourage of the goddess of the turn of the seasons, Persephone. Of the second triad associated to Themis and Zeus for law and order: Diké was the goddess of moral justice: she ruled over human justice, as her mother Themis ruled over divine justice.

The anthropomorphisation of Diké as an ever-young woman dwelling in the cities of men was so ancient and strong that in the 3rd century BCE Aratus in Phaenomena 96 asserted that she was born a mortal and that, though Zeus placed her on earth to keep mankind just, he learned this was impossible and placed her next to him on Olympus, as the Greek astronomical/astrological constellation The Maiden. Eunomia was the goddess of legislation; the same or a different goddess may have been a daughter of Aphrodite. Eirene or Irene, was the personification of peace and wealth, was depicted in art as a beautiful young woman carrying a cornucopia, scepter and a torch or rhyton; the last triad of Horae was identified by Hyginus: Pherusa, Euporie or Euporia, Orthosie or Orthosia Nonnus in his Dionysiaca mentions a distinct set of four Horae, the daughters of Helios. Quintus Smyrnaeus attributes the Horae as the daughters of Helios and Selene, describes them as the four handmaidens of Her
