Themis is a Titan and the personification of justice, law, and fairness in the Greek mythology. She is a daughter of Gaia and often the adviser of Zeus.
History[edit | edit source]
In the myths, she inherited the role of the Oracle of Delphi from her mother Gaia, before further passing it onto the god Apollo after he slew the Python.[1]
Influence[edit | edit source]
In 5th century BCE Athens had a temple dedicated to her on the southern side of the acropolis, beside the Monument of Hippolytos. The Spartan misthios Kassandra visited these both landmarks during the Peloponnesian War.[2]
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- The temple in Assassin's Creed: Odyssey houses a painted statue commonly associated with the goddess Hera, instead of how Themis is usually depicted: a woman holding the scales of justice and often also a sword.
Appearances[edit | edit source]
