In Roman mythology, Fraus was the goddess or personification of treachery and fraud.[1][2][3][4]

She was daughter of Orcus and Night (Nyx).[5] She was depicted with a woman's face, the body of a snake, and on her tail the sting of a scorpion.[2][6][7]

She was a helper of Mercury.[citation needed] Her Greek equivalent was Apate.
