- lawful; well-ordered
Meaning
The adjective qualifies ἀρχή, the boundless rule associated with the Fates at LIX.10. Because law is also named in the same phrase, εὔνομος emphasizes the ordered character of that authority. It describes how rule operates rather than naming a second deity called Eunomia.
