Ponos /ˈpoʊˌnɒs/ or Ponus /ˈpoʊnəs/ (Ancient Greek: Πόνος Pónos) is the personification of hardship or toil. According to Hesiod's Theogony, "painful" Ponos was the child of Eris (Strife), with no father.[1] In Roman mythology, Cicero has a similar god, Labor (Toil) as the son of the Nox (Night) and Erebus (Darkness).[2]
