You Wait Ages for DC Comics With the Hecate and Then, Ironically, Three Come Along at Once

Hecate or Hekate is a goddess in Greek religion and mythology and later depicted in triple form. That triple identity has also emerged from Roman and greek mythology as The Fates, The Furies and as the pagan Triple Goddess, three female figures are frequently described as the Maiden, the Mother, and the Crone. And you can partially blame Robert Graves as drawing that line, and DC Comics joined in as well, with a little help from Neil Gaiman.

But today, it's gone into overload. The current Witching Hour crossover with Justice League Dark and Wonder Woman has pushed the Hecate to the top.
