Themis is the goddess of justice. She protects those who had been wronged and the poor. She was the daughter of Uranus and Gaia, so one of the oldest gods. She has mastered the art of foretelling and the Oracle of Delphi, before Apollo owned it, belonged to her.

She had with Zeus the children the three Horen, Eunomia, Dike, and Eirene as well as the three Moiren Klotho, Lachesis and Atropos.
