Will have (mythology)

See also: Will have

In the Greek Mythology, Will have (in Greek old Αὔρα / Will have , “the breeze” or “the wind”) is youngest Titanide, girl of Titan Lélantos (or of Cybèle in confusion with the nymph Nicaia) and of the Océanide Périboée. It was the personification of the Brise and the Fresh air of the morning.

Myth

Partner of the goddess Artémis, it is a very proud huntress of her virginity. In its Hybris, she dared to compare her body with that of the goddess, protesting that this one had too female forms to be really virgin.

To avenge its dignity, Artémis invites some with the Némésis (the Punishment). As a punishment, Will have is violated by Dionysos (or according to other versions, liked of Dionysos but pushing back it, Aphrodite, on request for this one, inspires to him an insane love for the god). From this union, will be born from the twins. Become insane, in its fury, it becomes pitiless tueuse men. And with the birth of its twins, Will have in tears one of piece and devours it entire, while Artémis arrives in time to save the second, Iacchos, that Dionysos entrusts at once to its former mistress, the nymph Nicaia, a girl of Cybèle which it had formerly forced and returned mother. The parallel destinies of Will have and of Nicaia are at the origin of late confusions between these two divinities. Will have throws itself then in to the sea but Zeus transforms it into a brook (or in a breeze).
