Ioke (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Ioke^{[pronunciation?]} (Ἰωκή) is the female personification of onslaught, battle-tumult, and pursuit. In the Iliad, she is one of the daimones, or spirits, of Zeus's aegis. The other daimones are Phobos, Eris and Alke. ^[1]

The Ancient Greek word ἰωκή is a rare doublet for διωκή "rout, pursuit", from the common verb διώκω "drive, pursue, chase away".^[2]
