Harmonia
("harmony")
Aphrodite
and Ares's daughter and
king Cadmus of Thebes
wife. With Cadmus she had the daughters Autonoe, Ino, Semele
and Agave and
the son Polydoros.
Her mother gave her a beautiful golden necklace made by Hephaestus
which gave Harmonia luck but unhappiness to her family. She and her husband
were transformed into snakes at the end of their lives.
