Themis

Themis was the Titaness of good counsel, divine order, law, natural law, and custom.

Mythology
The ability of the goddess Themis to foresee the future enabled her to become one of the Oracles of Delphi, which in turn led to her establishment as the goddess of divine justice.

Some classical representations of Themis did not show her blindfolded nor was she holding a sword. The sword is believed to represent the ability Themis had from cutting fact from fiction, to her there was no middle ground. Themis built the Oracle at Delphi and was herself oracular. According to another legend, Themis received the Oracle at Delphi from Gaia and later gave it to Phoebe.

When Themis is disregarded, Nemesis brings just and wrathful retribution, thus Themis shared the Nemesion temple at Rhamnous. Themis is not wrathful, she was first to offer Hera a cup when she returned to Olympus distraught over threats from Zeus.

Themis presided over the proper relation between man and woman, the basis of the rightly ordered famil. Such was the basis for order upon Olympus too. Even Hera addressed her as "Lady Themis".

Hesiod
Hesiod mentions Themis among the six sons and six daughters of Gaia and Uranus. Among these Titans or primordial myth, few were venerated at specific sanctuaries in classical times.

Themis occurred in Hesiod's Theogony as the first recorded appearance of justice as a divine personage. Hesiod portrayed temporal justice, Dike, as the daughter of Zeus and Themis.
