Meaning & History
Derived from Greek εἶδος (#eidos#) meaning "to see" or "to know". In Greek mythology she was the mother of the sorceress MEDEA, and may have personified 'the magical power of the eye, which in Greek superstition was the source of the witch's supernatural power - strengthened by the beams of the ancestral sun.'
