⭐ Core Definition: Eunomia (goddess)

In Greek mythology, Eunomia (Ancient Greek: Εὐνομία) was a minor but important goddess of law and legislation and her name can be translated as "good order", "governance according to good laws", as well as the spring-time goddess of green pastures ( means "well, good" in Greek, and νόμος, nómos, means "law", while pasturelands are called nomia). She is by most accounts the daughter of Themis and Zeus. Her opposite number was Dysnomia (Lawlessness).

👉 Eunomia (goddess) in the context of Philodorian

Laconophilia is love or admiration of Sparta and of the Spartan culture or constitution. The term derives from Laconia, the part of the Peloponnesus where the Spartans lived.

Admirers of the Spartans typically praise their valour and success in war, their "laconic" austerity and self-restraint, their aristocratic and virtuous ways, the stable order of their political life, and their constitution, with its tripartite mixed government. Ancient Laconophilia started to appear as early as the 5th century BC, and even contributed a new verb to Ancient Greek: λακωνίζειν (literally: to act like a Laconian). Praise of the Spartan city-state persisted within classical literature ever afterward, and surfaced again during the Renaissance.

She was depicted in art as a beautiful young woman carrying a cornucopia, sceptre, and a torch or rhyton.
