Ioke (mythology)


In Greek mythology, Ioke is the female personification of onslaught, battle-tumult, and pursuit. In the Iliad, she is one of the daimones, or spirits, of Zeus's aegis. The other daimones are Phobos, Eris, and Alke.
The ancient Greek word ἰωκή is a rare doublet for διωκή "rout, pursuit" from the common verb διώκω "drive, pursue, chase away".
