Dysnomia (deity)
In Greek mythology, Dysnomia (/dɪsˈnoʊmiə/; Ancient Greek: Δυσνομία means 'lawlessness') was the daemon of "lawlessness", who shares her nature with Atë ("ruin"). She was a companion of the latter deity, Adikia (Injustice), and Hybris (Violence). Dysnomia makes rare appearances among other personifications in poetical contexts that are marginal in ancient Greek religion but become central to Greek philosophy: see Plato's Laws.
