In Greek mythology, Arctus (Ancient Greek: Ἄρκτον, romanized: Arktos, lit. 'bear') was the twelfth Hora (Hour) who presided over the night sky and constellation. She was initially not part of this lesser known set of goddesses.




Family


Arctus was sister of the other eleven Hora: Auge (First Light), Anatole (Sunrise), Musica (Hour of Music), Gymnastica (Hour of Exercise), Nymphe (Hour of Bath), Mesembria (Noon), Sponde (Libation), Elete (Hour of Prayer), Acte (Hour of Pleasure), Hesperis (Evening), and Dysis (Sunset).
Their father was either Helios (Sun) or Chronos (Time).




Mythology


Arktos along with her sisters, Antolia, Dysis and Mesembria, were the attendants of the goddess Harmonia (Harmony) within her halls in heaven. Like the rest of her siblings, she attended one of the four gates of the Winds.
