In Greek mythology, Horme is the Greek spirit personifying energetic activity, impulse or effort, eagerness, setting oneself in motion, and starting an action, and particularly onrush in battle. She had an altar at Athens, where mainly the divine servants and relations of Zeus had altars. Her opposite character is Aergia, a goddess of sloth and apathy.
