Gameplay
Hekate's benefits can be used offensively or defensively, making her a popular choice for Atlantean players. The Lampades can momentarily turn enemy units hostile to all, which is useful for fighting off weakened soldiers and turning powerful myth units against their former allies. Lampades can also be upgraded with Asper Blood, allowing them to turn enemy human units into Chickens. This can be used offensively to wear down enemy armies full of elite human soldiers, especially War Elephants. Alternatively, it can be used to provide the player a quick source of food in the late game. All myth units can be granted faster attack and movement speed and regeneration with the Celerity and Mythic Rejuvenation technologies respectively, making it easier for them to take out highly threatening units and survive for much longer.
The Tartarian Gate god power, on the other hand, is purely offensive, as casting it near the player's base puts them at risk of being attacked by the Tartarian Spawns. Instead, it is best used to destroy a handful of buildings and pester the enemy while the player's own army is being assembled for the final push.
Combined with Hyperion (possible under Oranos), it is possible to have hit point regeneration for a majority of the player's forces, including the Titan and excluding only ships and siege units. Adding Oceanus would fill that gap, though Prometheus is the more practical option for massing hero units, while Oceanus' healing myth units would be somewhat redundant for this purpose. Additionally, Hyperion allows the player to cast the Chaos god power on enemy armies, further supplementing the Lampades' power. Of note is that any non-Atlantean myth units converted to the player's side via the Traitor god power will also benefit from Celerity and Mythic Rejuvenation; however, this is only possible under Gaia, as Rheia is not accessible to Oranos.
Mythology
"Hekate was a goddess of the night, ghosts, and magic, and she was associated with crossroads. A three-faced statue of Hekate, showing a dog, a lion (or snake), and a mare, was placed where three roads met. She was said to appear when the moon went into eclipse and was accompanied by two ghost dogs. From her parents, the Titans Perses and Asteria, she inherited powers over the earth, sea, and heavens. Her three heads were thought to represent Selene in heaven, Artemis on Earth, and Persephone in the Underworld.
