Eirene
(also Irene), in Greek mythology, the goddess of peace and either the nurse or mother of Plutus, the god of wealth.
Aristophanes’ comedy Eirene (421 B.C.) depicts the goddess’ liberation from the cavern in which the fierce god of war had immured her. A statue by Cephisodotus (first half of the fourth century B.C.) of the beautiful goddess carrying the infant Plutus was erected in Athens circa 374 B.C. The statue survives through various Roman copies, such as the one in the Glyptothek in Munich.
Eirene was venerated in Rome under the name of Pax. In 1957 an international organization of classical scholars from socialist countries was founded under the name “Eirene”; its journal also bears the goddess’ name.
