Description
Ring Peitho
In Greek mythology, Peitho is the goddess who personifies persuasion and seduction. She is typically presented as an important companion of Aphrodite. Her opposite is Bia, the personification of force. As a personification, she was sometimes imagined as a goddess and sometimes an abstract force with her name used both as a common and proper noun. There is evidence that Peitho was referred to as a goddess before she was referred to as an abstract concept, which is rare for a personification. Peitho represents both sexual and political persuasion.
Αναφέρεται, κάπως συγκεχυμένα, ως κόρη της Αφροδίτης και του Ερμή. Η Πειθώ λατρευόταν άλλοτε ως αυτόνομη θεότητα και άλλοτε ως βοηθός άλλων θεοτήτων, όπως της Αφροδίτης, του Πόθου, του Ιμέρου, των Ωρών και των Χαρίτων.
