Who was Horkos in Greek mythology?

Horkos' mother was Eris (goddess of strife) and no one knows who his father is. He is most famously known in the story of Aesop's fables where a man borrows money from someone but has no intention of paying it back. The story best displays the importance of earths in Greek mythology and I'll keeping your word was one of the most important things in the ancient Greek judicial system. Horkos means oath in Greek.

It is amazing to me how many different figures there are in Greek mythology. We know all the main players, and we need to know more about the minor characters that were important but not as well-known. Thanks for sharing this!
