Daeira

Daeira was an Okeanid Nymph of the town in Eleusis in Attika. She was the mother of the town's eponymous king by Hermes.

 

Daeira was connected with the rites of the Eleusinian Mysteries, her name "the knowing one" or "teacher" describes the imparting of secret knowledge. Daeira may have been identified with the Eleusinian Hekate, who a few sources appear to suggest was the consort of Khthonian Hermes, Guide of the Dead.
