Homonoia is the concept of order and unity, being of one mind together or union of hearts. It was used by the Greeks to create unity in the politics of classical Greece. It saw widespread use when Alexander the Great adopted its principles to govern his vast Empire.

Homonoia could mean:

• Homonoia (plant) - a plant genus of the family Euphorbiaceae comprising 2 species.
• Homonoia - a Greek philosophical movement best translated as, being of one mind together
• Homonoia (mythology) - Greek goddess of order and unity

Homonoia , in ancient Greek religion, was a minor goddess of concord, unanimity, and oneness of mind. Her opposite number was Eris (Strife).

Homonoia was believed to be the daughter of Soter, the saviour daimon, and Praxidike, the goddess of judicial punishment and vengeance. Her siblings were Arete (a goddess personifying virtue) and Ktesios, minor god of household. Arete and Homonoia were referred to as the Praxidikai, taking this name after their mother. As such Homonoia was probably closely identified with the Theban Goddess-Queen Harmonia.
