Homonoia, (/hoʊmoʊˈnɔɪə/;Ancient Greek:Ὁμόνοια) inancient Greek religion andmythology, was a minor goddess of concord, unanimity, andoneness of mind. Along with her sisterArete, they were known asPraxidicae or the'exacters of justice'. Her opposite wasEris (Strife).
Homonoia was believed to be the daughter ofSoter, the saviourdaimon, andPraxidike, the goddess of judicialpunishment and vengeance. Her siblings wereArete (a goddess personifyingvirtue) andKtesios, a minor god of household. Arete and Homonoia were referred to as thePraxidikai, taking this name after their mother.[1] As such, Homonoia was probably closely identified with the Theban Goddess-QueenHarmonia.
