Amechania
In Greek mythology, Amechania or Amekhania (Ancient Greek: Àμηχανίην) was the spirit of impossibility.[1] She was regarded as a close companion (and sister) of Penia and Ptocheia.[citation needed] She was virtually identical to Aporia.[citation needed] Amechania was mentioned by ancient Greek authors such as Alcaeus[2] and Herodotus.[3]
