ELPIS
Greek Hope Goddess
Also known as Hope
Goddess of Hope
Last seen clinging to the inside of Pandora’s box.
Possibly a child of Nyx or even Eris, she’s a young lady deity usually portrayed optimistically holding a fresh flower. She always looks on the bright side and is a real comfort when things are looking bleak.
When the Romans came across her, they renamed her Spes and built several temples in her honor.
