“Homonoia was the goddess (or spirit or personification) of harmony, concord, unanimity, and oneness of mind. She is usually depicted either seated or standing with a cornucopia. Her opposite was Eris (Strife). She was sometimes included among the goddesses Praxidikai, (Exacters of Justice), who were said to be daughters of an early Theban King named Ogygos.”–Forum Ancient Coins
