Tekmor (mythology)
Tekmor is a mythical primeval Ancient Greek goddess, related with the limit and end of life. In the cosmogony of Alcman (7th century BC), she appears together with Poros (path) immediately after the creation. Tekmor may be related with the Homeric Moira and with Ananke, (necessity) the primeval goddess of inevitability in Orphic cosmogony. She is absent in later Greek cosmogonies and in Greek literature. It seems that she represented a universal principle of natural order. The Greek writers named this power Moira (Fate), or Ananke (necessity), and even the gods could not alter what was ordained.〔Aeschylus, ''Prometheus Bound'' , 510–518 : "Not in this way is Moira (Fate) who brings all to fulfillment, destined to complete this course. Skill is weaker far than Ananke (necessity). Yes in that even he (Zeus) cannot escape what is foretold" . (Theoi Project - Ananke )〕
==Etymology==
The Ancient Greek word ''tekmar'' (or ''tekmor'': , only in Homer) means fixed mark or boundary, goal, end or purpose. (, ''tekmar aionos'': end, object, purpose of the century, : ''hiketo tekmor'': he reached the goal).〔 (Lidell, Scott: '' A Greek English Lexicon'' τέκμαρ ).〕 It also means sure sign, or token of some high and solemn kind,〔''Iliad'' 1.526 ,(Lidell, Scott: '' A Greek English Lexicon'' τέκμαρ )〕 sign in heavens, or of the moon.〔Pindar, ''Nemean'': ( Lidell, Scott: '' A Greek English Lexicon'' τέκμαρ ).〕 In modern Greek the word is the root of the word ''tekmirion'' (: proof, evidence, or conclusion from existing evidence.)
The word is related with the English word ''token'' meaning sign, evidence, which is derived from the PIE base ''
*deik''- to show. Old English ''tacen'' (sign, symbol, evidence), Old Norse ''teikn'' (zodiac sign, omen, token), Gothic ''taikn'', (sign, token).〔(Douglas Harper :'' Online Etymology Dictionary'' token ).〕 The relative Sanskrit word ''Iaksmlka'' meaning mark, sign or token, is the root of the name of the goddess Laksmi.〔 ''Iaksmi'', bad sign or misfortune, ''Laksmi'' related to ''Iaksmlka'', mark, sign or token (Rigveda X, 71,2) : Monier Williams. ''Sanskrit-English Dictionary ''〕〔See also: Laima〕
