Paregoros
personnification of consolation
In ancient Greek religion, Paregoros (Ancient Greek: Παρηγορος, lit. 'Comforter') is the name of a goddess venerated at Megara. According to the geographer Pausanias, there was a statue, by the sculptor Praxiteles, of a goddess in the temple of Aphrodite at Megara, which the Megarians called "Consoler" (Paregoros).

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Paregoros” is personnification of consolation. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Paregoros, personnification and consolation, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “personnification of consolation” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 23, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q12757012. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1896, 1940 and 1918.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
