Hegemone

Hege'mone

(Ἡγεμόνη), that is, the leader or ruler, is the name of one of the Athenian Charites. When the Athenian ephebi took their civic oath, they invoked Hegemone. (Pollux, 8.106; Paus. 9.35.1.) Hegemone occurs also as a surname of Artemis at Sparta, and in Arcadia. (Paus. 3.14.6, 8.36.7, 47.4; Callim. Hymn. in Dian. 227; Polyaen. 8.52.) [L.S]
