Dikaiosyne

Dikaiosyne

In Greek mythology, Dike or Dice, sometimes also called Dicaeosyne, is the goddess of justice and the spirit of moral order and fair judgement as a transcendent universal ideal or based on immemorial custom, in the sense of socially enforced norms and conventional rules. According to Hesiod, she was fathered by Zeus upon his second consort, Themis. She and her mother are both personifications of justice. She is depicted as a young, slender woman carrying a balance scale and wearing a laurel wreath. The constellation Libra was anciently thought to represent her distinctive symbol.
