Ate (English spelling)

Japanese: アテ（英語表記）Ate

In Greek mythology, Athena is a female deification of the madness sent by the gods to humans, causing them to lose their minds. At one point, she even drove Zeus crazy, forcing him to take an oath that would cause Hercules to become Eurystheus' vassal and perform difficult feats. In anger, Zeus cast her out of heaven and forbade her from ever returning to the realm of the gods. As a result, Athena is said to be constantly among humans, forcing them to commit foolish acts that would cause them suffering and destruction.

ギリシア神話で神から人間に送られ正気を失わせる狂気を女性神格化した存在。あるときゼウス自身の理性まで狂わせ，彼にヘラクレスがエウリュステウスの臣下となって難業を果さなければならない原因となる誓いを立てさせたので，怒ったゼウスは，彼女を天から投落し，2度と神界に戻ってくることを禁じた。このためアテは以後，人間たちの間に常にいて，絶えず彼らに苦しみと破滅の原因となる愚行を犯させるという。
