In
Greek mythology, the
Thriae ("pebbles") were three virgin sisters. They were nature goddesses who were able to see the future (a trick learned from
Hermes) and interpret the signs of nature and omens (such as tossing pebbles, the source of their name). They lived near
Mount Parnassus.
In art, they were old, winged and silver-haired (covered in white flour). They bear a resemblance to bees covered with pollen.
