Hysminai

In Greek mythology, the Hysminae or Hysminai (Ancient Greek: Ὑσμίνας or ὑσμῖναι; singular: ὑσμίνη from hysmine means 'battle, conflict, combat' ) are the personifications of fighting. In Hesiod's Theogony, the Hysminai are listed among the children of Eris, the goddess of strife. In another account, Hysmine was called daughter of the primordial deities Aether and Gaia. Quintus Smyrnaeus depicted the Hysminae along with other daemons of war on the shield of Achilles.
