In Greek mythology, Ioke (/aɪˈoʊkiː/; Ancient Greek: Ἰωκή) is the female personification of onslaught, battle-tumult, and pursuit. In the Iliad, she is one of the daimones, or spirits, of Zeus's aegis. The other daimones are Phobos, Eris, and Alke.^[1]

The ancient Greek word ἰωκή is a rare doublet for διωκή "rout, pursuit" from the common verb διώκω "drive, pursue, chase away".^[2]
