About Macaria
Macaria is a very obscure figure in ancient Greek mythology, reportedly the daughter of Hades, the god and king of the Underworld. Macaria is not mentioned in any classical Greek or Roman text, and instead her single attestation comes from a medieval Byzantine encyclopedia of the tenth century, known as the Suda. Her passing mention in the Suda offers little to no documentation at all on her character, personhood and function. She has no accompanying mythology of any sort of her own, and there is no evidence she ever received any worship in cult.
