Poena or Poina was, in Greek mythology, the personification of punishment. As such, she was the attendant of Nemesis, the goddess of divine retribution. Her name means "penalty" and she was known to the Romans by the same name. From her name, English words such as "pain" and "subpoena" are derived.
