'the one in the streets, on the road') is a distinctly Thessalian goddess, identified in certain areas or by certain ancient writers with Artemis, Hecate or Persephone.

[6] Divinities with this Apotropaic function were expected to keep away dangers such as burglars, malicious spirits, and even pestilence such as mice.

[3] Cnopus received an oracle that stated: “to take as general from the Thessalians, the priestess of Ennodia” (στρατηγὸν παρὰ Θεσσαλῶν λαβεῖν τὴν ἱέρειαν τῆς Ἐνοδίας).

[3] Thessaly was stereotyped as being full of witches that could even draw down the moon, so the association of Chrysame with herbs makes sense.

[2][11] A stele dated between the 1st and 2nd century depicts Enodia wearing a chiton poderes, which is cross-girdled under the chest.

[3] Pherai was an important city in Ancient Thessaly from the Iron Age, which allowed Enodia to become a Pan-Thessalian goddess.

[3] There is no evidence of possible investment in any of her sanctuaries and no month of the Thessalian calendar in use after 196 appears to recognise and honour the goddess.

[4][8] Enodia is possibly the most distinct and best understood of the deities worshipped in Thessaly and her cult was spread from the late fifth and fourth centuries onwards into surrounding regions; Macedonia in particular.

An iron key was found inside of a drilled hole of a small base that bares an inscription asking Enodia for help with a child.

[6] It suggests that the base was originally placed near something that the key was able to lock and unlock, either literally or symbolically.

[2][8] Pieces possibly displaced from local tombs were dedicated later to Enodia in the eighth or seventh centuries.

[2][8] The animal figurines feature a wide range of species such as dogs, horses, and possibly bulls and snakes.

[2] The popularity of fibulae votives at the shrine of Enodia suggests that mortuary imagery may have been relevant to the cult.

[12] Despite her identification with Hecate[2][6] or Artemis,[2] Enodia stood on her own as a separate, popular goddess throughout the Hellenistic and Roman eras.

[16] Pausanias in the Description Of Greece describes Hecate-Enodia receiving a sacrifice of a black puppy at night by the Spartans.

[6] By the time of the fourth century, Hecate-Enodia is closely tied with ghosts in On the Sacred Disease, a text that seeks to shame magicians.

If the stools come frequently and are rather thin, as in the case of birds, Apollo Nomios is responsible.
