Origin of the name Adrestia


Recommended Posts

So I don’t know if this was ready mentioned by anyone else but anyway.

So I was just looking at my Reddit feed, and saw from the Greek Mythology sub a question about a goddess named Adrestia. There is says it’s a minor goddess, child of Ares and Aphrodite, with authority over, and listen here, „ the revolt and equilibrium over good and evil“. Mindblown I tell you the writers had to dig really deep for that one.

There are a ton of interesting name origins in Three Houses. I'm not an expert on Greek Mythology, but even just quickly looking at the Wikipedia page for Adrestia, brings up such gems as "was charged by Rhea with nurturing the infant Zeus in secret" or "she became identified with Nemesis, the goddess of divine retribution" (bolding mine). Amongst the many many other references to mythology, history and literature.
