Eukarpia (theonym)
In ancient Greek religion and myth, Eukarpia ("well-fruited" or "She of the rich harvest") was a divine personification of fertility, or an epithet or cult title for a deity. It is also found as a personal name for women (as Eukarpides for men).〔Fritz Graf, "Gods in Greek Inscriptions: Some Methodological Questions," in ''The Gods of Ancient Greece: Identities and Transformations'' (Edinburgh University Press, 2010), p. 68.〕
In poetry, the name is an epithet of Aphrodite, Demeter, and Dionysus.〔Graf, "Gods in Greek Inscriptions," pp. 68.〕 In Gonnoi, Thessaly, Eukarpia appears as a name for invoking Ge (Earth).〔Graf, "Gods in Greek Inscriptions," p. 68.〕
In a mosaic from the Tomb of Mnemosyne, Antioch, she is wearing earrings and an arm-baring tunic formed from ''tesserae'' of blue-green glass. On her head is a wreath of red and yellow fruit.〔Sheila Campbell, ''The Mosaics of Antioch'' (Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies, 1988), p. 77.〕
