Eunostus

This article is about the goddess. For the hero, see Eunostus (hero). For the genus of beetle, see Eunostus (beetle).

In Greek mythology, Eunostus (Ancient Greek: Εὔνοστος, romanized: Eúnostos) was a goddess whose image was set up in mills, and who was believed to keep watch over the just weight of flour. Her name "good yield", "happy return", or "good harvest", coming from the roots eu (good) and nostos (return or yield).

Promylaia (Ancient Greek: Προπύλαια, romanized: Promylaia, lit. 'the one that stands before/protects the mill') was another name for a goddess of the mills, who was worshipped in the same fashion as Eunostus.
