For the genus of hepialid moths, see Fraus (genus).
In Roman mythology, Fraus was the goddess of 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]
Fraus is an alternative name for Mercury,[citation needed] the god of theft (among other things). She is alternatively described as Mercury's helper.[citation needed]. Her Greek equivalent was Apate.
