Resumen
According to the Hesiodic narration of Theogony 901-903, «blooming Eirene», personification of the Peace, is one of the three sisters Horai (Seasons), daughters of Zeus and Themis (Justice/Law), «who care for the works of mortal human beings»: an anthropocentric goddess. On then steps of Hesiodic thought, Eirene/Peace shows herself patronizing human ethics and promoting vegetation and farming, so that she is believed an alias both for the beneficent Demeter and the exuberant Dionysos.
