👉 In Greek mythology, a goetae is a person who has not yet reached the state of godhood, or has not fully attained the divine qualities. These individuals are often described as being "faint and weak," having been born from the mortal womb but destined for an eternity in purgatory or hell. They are also known to have experienced various magical powers, such as the ability to control fire and water, which they use to aid others or to create new life.
