In Greek mythology, Enyo (Greek: Ενυώς, English translation: "horror") was an ancient ker or daimon known by the epithet "Waster of Cities" and frequently depicted as being covered in blood and carrying weapons of war, as on the Shield of Heracles. She was frequently portrayed as a companion of Ares, the chief god of war, and has been variously said to be his mother, daughter, or sister. She was occasionally said to be one of the Graeae.
