The Goddess Themis – We see her everywhere as the personification of blind justice. Her image is used in courtrooms, attorney’s offices, anywhere justice is served.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As one of the Titans, She was the daughter of Gaia and Uranus, and is the representation of the natural and moral order of everything, which was extremely important to the ancient Greeks.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

She was the second wife of Zeus, and as the Goddess of Wisdom, sat at his right hand as one of his councilors. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Her name “Themis” means “divine law”, and it was She who instructed mankind in the laws of justice and morality, those being piety, hospitality and governance.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
