 BMCR-L: BMCR 01.04.24, Kalimtzis, Aristotle on Political Enmity and Disease
Although numerous scholars have questioned the role of homonoia and its relation to other types of friendship,[[1]] K. approaches the problem from a different perspective: the definition of the nature and causes of stasis and the threat it poses to the polis.
Plato's view homonoia, rightly translated by G. Morrow as "a community of mind," properly refers to the "the natural form of internal communication that occurs whenever justice binds the parts of a whole" (p.
In Chapter 5, K. shows that while homonoia represents the natural state of the polis, stasis is a form of privation that is inversely proportionate to the sovereignty of nous among the citizens.

Perhaps the greatest challenge faced by Panhellenic writers was the primacy of localized identities in the post-Peloponnesian War Greek world, where the notions of autonomy and autochthony were on occasion also deeply entangled with that of hegemony.
The near impossibility of reconciling these ideals with that of homonoia - the central concept of fourth-century Panhellenic thought - is reflected in Gorgias' avoidance of any reference to Greek unity in his Athenian oration (Philostratus 493).
Since he reversed the causal relationship between culture and politics, suggesting that political leadership shaped cultural identities rather than was shaped by them, he could argue that the rule of a single leader was not inherently "barbaric" and when exercised correctly could have Hellenizing effect.

 Athenian Political Art from the Fifth and Fourth Centuries BCE: Images of Political Personifications
Homonoia was the international equivalent of philia, a bond that could bring together otherwise unrelated or unallied groups of individuals; accordingly at the end of the Peloponnesian War the Greeks aimed for homonoia, to which they swore allegiance after the Battle of Aigospotami (
Although there are no extant Attic representations of Homonoia, she was probably personified in Classical Athens, as was Philia, given her popularity in literature, and her later appearances in non Attic art.
Homonoia is represented and labelled on a fragmentary Apulian pelike, in Malibu 87.AE.23, attributed to the workshop of the Darius Painter (

In Book 4 of Apollonius' Argonautica, Alcinous, the king of the Phaeacians, acts as a mediator between the Argonauts and the Colchian army, which was sent by Aeetes to recover his daughter Medea (4.993-1009).
The influence of the Hellenistic cult of the political abstraction Homonoia is apparent in the depiction of Alcinous, whose equitable decision encourages the Colchians to settle in Phaeacia rather than return to Colchis (4.1206-11).
The evidence of honorific decrees shows that successful arbitrations were subsequently praised as having restored homonoia in the host city (e.g., IG 11.4.1052 l.

 Plato's Athens: The Festival City
The watchword of the new democracy was homonoia, which meant primarily the agreement between the aristocrats and the democrats within the Athenian state (and was thus the ancestor of Cicero's concordia ordinum), but Isocrates widened it to mean agreement between the Greek states themselves.
An obvious symbol of this external homonoia is Cephisodotus' statue of Eirene holding the infant Plutus, which is believed to have been erected in celebration of the abortive peace with the Spartans in 373, 3 an event also celebrated by the comic poet Theopompus in his Peace.
This idea of homonoia is symbolised in art by the pictures joining together two gods who normally belong to different spheres.

 PRAXIDICAE : Greek goddesses of exacting justice ; mythology : PRAXIDIKAI
In the Orphic Hymns Praxidike was identified with Persephone, Soter with Zeus, and her daughters the Praxidikai with the three goddess Erinyes.
In an alternative tradition, the three Praxidikai, named Thelxineia, Alkomeneia and Aulis, were daughters of the early Boiotia King Ogygos (who may have been connected with Okeanos-Ogenos).
Clearly the two traditions overlapped - Thelxineia, Homonoia and the Boiotian goddess-queen Harmonia appear to be all one and the same.

The cult of Artemis attracted worshippers from all over the Greek world, and this cult and the insuing wealth it generated led to many cities seeking homonoia, or alliance agreements, with Ephesus.
The temple housed the many-breasted cult-statue of Artemis Ephesia, known only from Hellenistic and Roman copies and coins, whose cult featured in the celebrated incident during the second missionary visit of St. Paul (Acts 19:17).
The homonoia coin series, and a number of objects of Egyptian provenance found in Ephesus, all suggest that there was a sizeable colony of Egyptian traders and visitors in the city.

Orators and politicians tried to counter the potentially negative consequences these competitions could have on what political power remained to these Greek cities by exhorting the virtues of 'political concord' (homonoia) in speeches, inscriptions and coins.
The homonoia coins of Asia Minor offer us in important insight into the tensions and vicissitudes of city politics in late first century Asia Minor, and help broaden our understanding of the socio-political background and context that Paul and his disciples spoke to.

 Democracy, ancient Athenian roots
The word for this finding of a consensus before the law is homonoia, which means, concord, or commonality of interest.
The idea of harmony among various interests—craftsmen, soldiers, landowners, farmers and shopkeepers—could be held because the ideal city-state was relatively small-say under 20,000 inhabitants, excluding slaves and their families.
The Councilof 500 at large prepared the agenda for the Assembly, served as a kind of supreme court in cases of capital punishment and directed the financial affairs (gathering funds, determining tax rates) of the city.

One crucial factor that seems to undermine Alexander’s legacy is that there appears to be very little archaeological evidence of his meteoric voyage.

 Eric Voegelin, "The American Experience"
John Dewey’s category was “likemindedness,” and I found that “likemindedness” was the term used by the King James Version to translate the New Testament homonoia.
That was the first time I became aware of the problem of homonoia about which I knew extremely little at the time, because my knowledge of Classic philosophy was still quite insufficient and my knowledge of Christian problems practically nonexistent.
It was an attempt to transform the homonoia, in the sense of a community of the spirit, into something innocuous like a community of kind in a biological sense.

Isocrates, the Athenian orator who lived during the first half of the 4th century BC, urged homonoia (reconciliation) among the Greeks in order that the Greeks might undertake an expedition against the Persians.
Sometime after Isocrates, there occurred a revolution in thought on the part of some intellectuals which recognized the brotherhood of all men and understood that the monarch's role was to bring about universal homonoia.
Several passages in the ancient sources explicitly attribute this thought to Alexander who, they claim, saw his role as king was to bring the unity of man to pass.

 6th Conference on Greek Philosophy: Abstracts
Further, because concord (homonoia) is similar to (homoios) friendship (philia), legislators aim at concord Òabove allÓ EN 1155a23-25.
A second important claim of the paper immediately relevant to the first one is that homonoia, as a special type of Òpolitical friendshipÓ, characterized by an equally unique Òself loveÓ, is necessary for the development of the ÒmixedÓ oligarchic / democratic regime Aristotle argues for in the Politics.
Yet another conclusion that will be drawn is that the above-mentioned meaning of homonoia as Òpolitical friendshipÓ is its Òprimary and naturalÓ (prote kai physe) meaning EE 1241a25 in comparison to a more narrow meaning of Òpolitical or civic friendshipÓ (politike philia) discussed in EE 1242b23ff.
