In Greek mythology, Eiresione or Iresione /ˌaɪriːsiˈoʊniː/ (Greek:
Eiresione for us brings figs and bread of the richest,
brings us honey in pots and oil to rub off from the body,
Strong wine too in a beaker, that one may go to bed mellow.[3]
Greek:
ε ἰρεσιώνησ ῦκ α φέρεικ α ὶ πίονας ἄρτους
κ α ὶ μέλι ἐν κοτύλῃκ α ὶ ἔλαιον ἀποψήσασθαι
κ α ὶ κύλικ᾽ε ὔζωρον, ὡς ἂν μεθύουσα καθεύδῃ.
Eiresione signified the advent of wealth (Greek: πλοῦτος - ploutos).[4][5]
