| | Ananke, Greek Mythology Link. |
 | | Ananke is the powerful deity that rules compulsion, constraint, restraint, or coercion, and presides over all forms of slavery and bonds, starting with the basic necessities of life. |
 | | Ananke's dominion is experienced mainly in the physical world, and therefore she has been held responsible for the ugliness of all violent dealings deriving from her compelling power. |
 | | For when someone feels forced either to perform an evil act, or else to perform another evil act, then he might as well evoke the goddess, as when Agamemnon had to choose either to suffer the consequences of disappointing the army by not attacking Troy, or else sacrifice his daughter, the sweet flower Iphigenia. |
