Thrasos

In Greek mythology, Thrasos^{[pronunciation?]} (Greek Θράσος n.) is the personified concept of boldness.

Although the word θράσος itself could be used both in the positive ("courage") and the negative ("over-boldness, insolence") senses,^[1] in the only context where Thrasos appears as a personification (a daemon), it is definitely a malicious and suspicious being, mentioned together with Hybris and Atë and opposed to Dike.^[2]^[3]
