Euthenia ( /juːˈθiːniə/; [1] Greek: Ευσθένεια, Eustheneia) was the ancient Greek female spirit of prosperity. Her opposite was Penia and her sisters entailed Eucleia, Philophrosyne, and Eupheme. Along with her siblings, she was regarded as a member of the younger Charites. According to the Orphic fragments, her parents were Hephaestus and Aglaea. [2]
She is also a part of the Egyptian and Roman pantheon. During Ptolemaic times, she became the consort of Nilus. [3] Her first appearance on Egyptian coins date back to the last decade of BC. [4]
On Roman coins, Euthenia is often compared to Abundantia, the personification of abundance and prosperity, and Annona, the personification of the grain supply to Rome. [5]
