The Lampads /ˈlæmpədz,
Mythology[edit]
The only surviving source which mentions the Lampades is a fragment of Alcman.[3][2] Companions of Hecate, the Greek goddess of witchcraft and crossroads, they were a gift from Zeus for Hecate's loyalty in the Titanomachy.[citation needed] They bear torches and accompany Hecate on her night-time travels and hauntings.[citation needed]
The Lampads' Roman name is nymphae Avernales ("infernal nymphs").[4]
