Definition: The word "Alphecca" in Greek has a specific meaning within its original language, which was spoken in ancient Egypt. The term appears to be a corruption of the Hebrew word "aleph", which originally meant "little" or "small". In the context of Greek mythology, this might represent something akin to the concept of "little brother," referring specifically to Alpheus, who is known as the son of Zeus and the daughter of Hephaestus. The story goes that when Alpheus was young, he had a crush on Hera, the goddess of beauty and fertility. Hera, enraged by Alpheus' love for her friend, Hephaestus, demanded an amorous exchange with him, much to his father's concern. Over time, Zeus allowed Alpheus to take advantage of Hera's anger, leading to a confrontation where Hera threatened to punish him. However, Alpheus was so caught up in their relationship that he did not realize what was going on until Hera's angry spirit attacked him. In this scenario, "Alphecca" is described as the result of Hera's wrath against Alpheus. This story emphasizes the concept of familial loyalty and love in ancient Greek mythology, emphasizing the importance of honor and fidelity between siblings.
