In Greek mythology, Thrasos[pronunciation?] (Ancient Greek: Θράσος) is the personified concept of boldness.
Although the word θράσος itself could be used both in the positive ("courage") and the negative ("over-boldness, insolence") senses,[1] in the only context where Thrasos appears as a personification (a daemon), it is definitely a malicious and suspicious being, mentioned together with Hybris and Atë and opposed to Dike.[2]
According to Euripides in his play Agamemnon:
