The guardian deities of ancient Roman homes. According to myth, Jupiter once asked his mother, Lara, for help in fulfilling her desire for the nymph Juturna, whom she had been courting for some time, but she betrayed the supreme god and told Juno and Juturna about his plan. Infuriated, Jupiter ripped out Lara's tongue and ordered Mercury to take her to the underworld, but Mercury, who loved the goddess, copulated with her on the way and gave birth to the Lares. In addition to homes, it was believed that the Lares also protected roads, fields, and crossroads.

古代ローマの家の守護神たち。神話によれば,母親ララはあるとき,ユピテルから,かねて求愛しているニンフのユトゥルナに対する思いをとげるための助けを求められたが,最高神を裏切って,その計画をユノとユトゥルナに告げ口してしまった。怒ったユピテルは,ララの舌を抜取り,メルクリウスに命じ,彼女を地下界に連れていかせたが,この女神を愛したメルクリウスは途中で彼女と交わり,ラレスたちを生ませたという。家のほかに,道や,畑,四つ辻などもラレスの保護を受けると信じられた。
