Adrasteia
In
Greek mythology, Adrasteia (
Greek: Ἀδράστεια (
Ionic Greek: Ἀδρήστεια), "inescapable"; also spelled Adrastia, Adrastea, Adrestea, Adastreia) was a
nymph who was charged by
Rhea to raise the infant
Zeus in secret to protect him from his father
Cronus (Krónos) in the
Dictaean cave. Adrasteia and her sister Ida, the nymph of
Mount Ida, who also cared for the infant Zeus, were perhaps the daughters of
Melisseus. The sisters fed the infant milk from the goat
Amaltheia. The
Korybantes, also known as the Curetes, whom the scholiast on Callimachus calls her brothers, also watched over the child; they kept Cronus from hearing him crying by beating their swords on their shields, drowning out the sound of the child's cries.

Adrasteia
[Greek] "She whom none can escape". Properly an epithet of Rhea Cybele in her attribute of the Mother who punishes human injustice, which is a transgression of the natural right order of things. The Greeks and Romans identified her with Nemesis.
Adrasteia
Adrasteia (Greek) [from a not + didraskein to run away] That which cannot be escaped; a personification of one aspect of karma; a surname of Nemesis, not a synonym. Nemesis, Adrasteia, and Themis form a trinity: Adrasteia is the causes created by man himself, therefore inescapable; Nemesis personifies reverence for law, i.e., conscience; while Themis represents divine order and harmony, the inherent equilibrium in the cosmic structure. Adrasteia therefore signifies the effects that flow upon one sooner or later as the results of his good or evil doing.
