In
Greek mythology, Harmonia is the immortal
goddess of harmony and concord. Her
Roman counterpart is
Concordia, and her Greek opposite is
Eris, whose Roman counterpart is
Discordia.According to one account she is the daughter of
Ares and
Aphrodite; by another, the daughter of
Aphrodite and
Hephaestus, but almost always the wife of
Cadmus. With Cadmus, she was the mother of
Ino,
Polydorus,
Autonoe,
Agave and
Semele.When the government of
Thebes was bestowed upon Cadmus by
Athena,
Zeus gave him Harmonia. All the gods honoured the wedding with their presence. Cadmus (or one of the gods) presented the bride with a robe and necklace, the work of Hephaestus. This necklace, commonly referred to as the
Necklace of Harmonia, brought misfortune to all who possessed it.
