The following are the family Houses featured in the fictional Dune universe created by Frank Herbert. The assembly of all the nobles in the Imperium, called the Landsraad, consists of many additional Houses Great or Minor which are never mentioned in the novels.
House Atreides is one of the Great Houses of the feudal interstellar empire known as the Imperium; its members play a role in every novel in the series, starting with 1965's Dune.Leto II Atreides notes in God Emperor of Dune (1981) that the Atreides are descended from the mythological Greek House of Atreus. In Homer's Iliad, the brothers Agamemnon and Menelaus are dubbed "the Atreides," or "sons of Atreus;" Leto's twin sister Ghanima mentions Agamemnon as a direct ancestor in Children of Dune (1976). However, in Dune: The Butlerian Jihad (2002) it is suggested that she is instead referring to the leader of the group of Titans named Agamemnon.
Boro is the surname of Camie Boro, the last descendant of the last Emperor who ruled the original Earth-based Old Empire before its downfall at the hands of the Titans, as established in the Legends of Dune prequel trilogy (2002-2004) by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson.
