Themis was a Greek Titan most famous for embodying the concept of justice. Unlike the other Titans, she sided with the Olympians in their celestial war with her brethren. Today, her image survives as “Lady Justice,” wearing a chiton (a kind of tunic) and holding a set of balanced scales.
The Horae, daughters of Zeus and Themis, were goddesses associated with the seasons and with ordered cycles of time. According to the poet Hesiod, there were three Horae: Dike (“Justice”), Eunomia (“Good Order”), and Eirene (“Peace”).
These were Themis, who gave Zeus the Horae and (according to Hesiod) the Moirae; [23] and Mnemosyne, who bore the nine Muses. [24] Mythology Origins There are very clear parallels between many of the Greek cosmogonic myths—including the myths of the Titans—and the myths of the Near East.
