Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox deity

In Greek mythology, Arke or Arce (Шаблон:Lang-grc) is one of the daughters of Thaumas, and sister to the rainbow goddess Iris. During the Titanomachy, Arke fled from the Olympians' camp and joined the Titans, unlike Iris who remained loyal to Zeus and his allies. After the war was over and the Titans with their allies were defeated, Zeus cut off her wings and cast Arke into Tartarus.

Mythology

Arke was born to Thaumas, a minor god; no mother is mentioned.Шаблон:Efn She and Iris were both messenger goddesses. During the Titanomachy, she sided with the Titans against the Olympian gods; she became the messenger for the Titans, while Iris became the messenger of the Olympian Gods. When the Olympian gods won, Zeus punished Arke. She was deprived of her wings and cast into Tartarus, together with the vanquished Titans. Arke's wings were later given to Peleus and Thetis as a gift on their wedding day; Thetis later gave them to her son Achilles, which is thought to be the derivation of his surname Podarces (literally "swift-footed", as if from Шаблон:Lang, gen. Шаблон:Lang "foot" + the name of Arke).[1]

In Eumelus of Corinth's lost epic Titanomachy, it seems that the messenger of the Titans was called Ithas, identified with Prometheus.[2][3]
