Dike (goddess)

In Greek mythology, Dike ("justice") was the goddess of moral justice. Her mother was Themis; her father was Zeus. She ruled over human justice; her mother ruled over divine justice.

Dike was born a mortal and Zeus placed her on earth to keep mankind just. He quickly learned this was impossible and placed her next to him on Mt. Olympus.

She was part of the second generation of Horae.
