(), the goddess of war, who delights in bloodshed and
the destruction of towns, and accompanies Mars in battles. (Hom. Il.
5.333, 592; Eustath. p. 140.) At Thebes and
Orchomenos, a festival called Ὁμολώϊα was celebrated
in honour of Zeus, Demeter, Athena and Enyo, and Zeus was said to have received the surname of
Homoloius from Homolois, a priestess of Enyo. (Suid. s. v.; comp.
Müller, Orchom. p. 229, 2nd edit.) A statue of Enyo, made by the
sons of Praxiteles, stood in the temple of Ares at Athens. (Paus.
1.8.5.) Among the Graeae in Hesiod (Hes. Th. 273) there
is one called Enyo. Respecting the Roman goddess of war see BELLONA.
