From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Euthenia[pronunciation?] 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.

She is also a part of the Egyptian and Roman pantheon. Her first appearance on Egyptian coins was seen in the last decade of BC. During Ptolemaic times, she became the consort of Nilus. 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.
