Eunomia

/juːˈnoʊmiə/ noun

Definition

In Greek mythology, the goddess of order, law, and lawful conduct; one of the Horae (Hours).

Etymology

From Greek Eunomia (Εὐνομία), from eu- (εὖ 'well') + nomos (νόμος 'law'), literally 'good order'; part of the divine retinue in classical mythology.

Kelly Says

Eunomia represents something the ancient Greeks deeply valued—not just laws, but the harmonious order that laws create, the opposite of chaos and lawlessness.
