Editing Enyo (section)

==Description==
Enyo is called the "sister of War" (in Greek [[Polemos]]) by [[Quintus Smyrnaeus]],<ref>[[Quintus Smyrnaeus]], ''Fall of Troy'', [https://archive.org/stream/falloftroy00quin#page/374/mode/2up 8.424].</ref> in a role closely resembling that of [[Eris (mythology)|Eris]], the embodiment of strife and discord, with [[Homer]], in particular, representing the two as the same. In some myths, she is identified as the mother of the war god [[Enyalius]] as well,<ref>[[Eustathius of Thessalonica|Eustathius]] on [[Homer]] 944</ref> and in these myths, [[Ares]] is indicated as the father, however, the masculine name ''Enyalius'' or ''Enyalios'' also may be used as a title for Ares.<ref>{{cite book|last=Willcock|first=Malcolm M.|title=A companion to the Iliad : based on the translation by Richard Lattimore|url=https://archive.org/details/companiontoiliad0000will|url-access=registration|year=1976|publisher=University of Chicago Press|location=Chicago|isbn=0-226-89855-5|page=[https://archive.org/details/companiontoiliad0000will/page/58 58]|edition=[9th print.]}}</ref>

As goddess of war, Enyo is responsible for orchestrating the destruction of cities, often accompanying Ares into battle.<ref>Homer, ''[[Iliad]]'' 5. 333, 592</ref> She is depicted as "supreme in war".<ref>[[Pausanias (geographer)|Pausanias]], ''Description of Greece'' [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0525.tlg001.perseus-eng1:4.30.5 4.30.5].</ref> She is so delighted in warfare that she even refused to take sides in the battle between Zeus and the monster [[Typhon]]:

<blockquote>Eris (Strife) was Typhon's escort in the mellee, [[Nike (mythology)|Nike]] (Victory) led Zeus into battle… impartial Enyo held equal balance between the two sides, between Zeus and Typhon, while the thunderbolts with booming shots revel like dancers in the sky.<ref>[[Nonnus]], ''Dionysiaca'' 2. 358 and 2. 475 ff</ref></blockquote>

Enyo was involved in the war of the [[Seven against Thebes]], and in [[Dionysus]]'s [[Dionysiaca|war with the Indians]] as well.<ref>[[Statius]], ''Thebaid'', [[Nonnus]], ''Dionysiaca''</ref> During the fall of [[Troy]], Enyo inflicted terror and bloodshed in the war, along with Eris ("Strife"), [[Phobos (mythology)|Phobos]] ("Fear"), and [[Deimos (mythology)|Deimos]] ("Dread"), the latter two being sons of Ares.<ref name="ReferenceA">[[Quintus Smyrnaeus]], ''Fall of Troy''</ref> She, Eris, and the two sons of Ares are depicted on the [[shield of Achilles]].<ref name="ReferenceA"/>
