Algos

Algea (Ancient Greek: Ἄλγεα; singular: Ἄλγος) is used by Hesiod in the plural as the personification of pain, both physical and mental, which are there represented as the children of Eris, Greek goddess of strife.[1] They were siblings to Lethe, Limos, Horkos, and Ponos.[2]

Algos in Greek is a neuter noun literally meaning "pain".

The name is related to the word suffix '-algia' denoting a painful condition.[3]

The three known Algea are Lupe (Λύπη – "pain"), Achos (Ἄχος – "grief"), and Ania (Ἀνία – "sorrow").[4]
