Ennodia was a local Thessalian goddess and was included among their twelve principal deities. She is the goddess of protection, roads, city entrances, cemeteries, ghosts, and purification. She is most often depicted standing with or riding a horse, while holding one or two long torches. The worship of Ennodia fell out of favor after the Roman general and council Flaminius refounded the Thessalian League in 196 BC, although her image still appears sporadically on rare Roman provincial coins.
