Themis
n.
(Greek mythology) goddess of law and order and daughter of Uranus and Gaea
Themis
In
Greek mythology,
Hesiod mentions Themis (
Greek: Θέμις) among the six sons and six daughters of
Gaia and
Uranus, that is, of Earth with Sky. Among these
Titans of primordial myth, few were venerated at specific sanctuaries in classical times, and Themis was so ancient that the followers of Zeus claimed that it was with him she produced the
Three Fates themselves (Hesiod, Theogony, 904). A fragment of
Pindar, however, tells that the Moerae were already present at the nuptials of Zeus and Themis, that in fact the Moerae rose with Themis from the springs of
Okeanos the encircling World-Ocean and accompanied her up the bright sun-path to meet Zeus at Olympus. With Zeus she more certainly bore the
Horae, those embodiments of the right moment — the rightness of Order unfolding in Time — and
Astraea. Themis was there at
Delos to witness the birth of Apollo.
