Eirene - Goddess of Peace



"How far peace outweighs war in benefits to man; Eirene /Peace, the chief friend and cherisher of the Mousai/Muses. Eirene /Peace, the enemy of revenge, lover of families and children, patroness of wealth."



(painting of Peace/Eirene by Ludwig Knaus, quote from The Suppliants, by Euripides)
