Brief Bio

Although Phrike is not personified in any extant Greek literature, her appearance in Seneca's play as Horror in a list of common Greek daimones suggests this personification was derived from a Greek source. The word phrikê was commonly used by the tragedians cf. Sophocles Electra 1402, Oedipus Rex 1306 and Aeschylus Prometheus Bound 540.
