The daughter of Ares (god of War) and Aphrodite (goddess of Love).
Her name means Harmony.
She is the sister of Phobos (Panic) and Deimos (Terror); the wife of Kadmus (Cadmus).
There is a story regarding the marriage of Kadmus and Harmonia in which Kadmus gave Harmonia a necklace that had been fashioned by Hephaistos (Hephaestus); the necklace was cursed but the exact ill effects it had on Harmonia and Kadmus are not clear.
The necklace was passed on to her son Polydorus, then to Labdakos (Labdacus), then to Laius, then to Oedipus, then to Polynikes (Polynices) and finally to Eriphyle.
Harmonia had four daughters and one son: Ino, Agaue, Autonoe, Semele and Polydorus.
