Myths and legends
Hegemone was known for creating plants that would bloom and bear fruit.[citation needed] She is often associated with the season of autumn, along with Carpho, who is known to bring plants to their state of harvest.[citation needed]
Hegemone was the eldest of the elder Charites, worshipped alongside Auxo, representing the spring.[4] Hegemone was worshipped in Boeotian Orchomenus - known as Viota in modern mainland Greece - in the form of pieces of meteorites.[5]
