Themis

(Θέμις). The daughter of Uranus and Gé. She was married to Zeus, by whom she became the mother of the Horae, Eunomia, Diké (Astraea), Irené, and of the Moerae. In the Homeric poems, Themis is the personification of the order of things established by law, custom, and equity, whence she is described as reigning in the assemblies of men, and as convening, by the command of Zeus, the assembly of the gods. She dwells in Olympus, and is on friendly terms with Hera. She is also described as a prophetic divinity, and is said to have been in possession of the Delphic Oracle as the successor of Gé, and predecessor of Apollo. Nymphs, believed to be daughters of Zeus and Themis, lived in a cave on the river Eridanus, and the Hesperides also are called daughters of Zeus and Themis. On coins she often bears a resemblance to the figure of Athené, and holds a cornncopia and a pair of scales.
