Hekataion Benaki

The Hekataion waits you to see it at the Benaki Museum of Athens. The depiction of Hekate with three forms is something that started from Alcamenes. Concerning the crossroads, sacred and symbolic places to the Goddess Hekate (and Hermes), a statue with three heads (and four some times) or with three bodies was placed to guide and protect the traveler. Hekate was a very famous Goddess in the household worship and one of the most loved, feared-respected and well known Goddesses of the ancient Hellenic (and not only) world.
