Harmonia

/hɑːrˈmoʊniə/ noun

Definition

A state of agreement and peaceful cooperation; a goddess in Greek mythology representing harmony and agreement.

Etymology

From Greek Harmonia, literally 'joining together' from 'harmos' (joint, fitting together). In mythology, she was the daughter of Ares and Aphrodite, representing the harmony that reconciles opposing forces.

Kelly Says

The Greek goddess Harmonia was often depicted wearing a magical necklace that caused discord wherever it went—a brilliant mythological irony that ancient Greeks used to show how true harmony must be actively maintained, not just passively hoped for.
