Androktasiai

In Greek mythology, the Androktasiai are collectively the personification of the slaughter of men in battle. The Androktasiai are named in line 228 of Hesiod's Theogony, which lists four personified plural abstractions, the Hysminai (Battles), the Machai (Wars), the Phonoi (Murders), and the Androktasiai, as being among the several offspring of Eris (Strife):Ὑσμίνας τε Μάχας τε Φόνους τ’ Ἀνδροκτασίας τε
