THE ANCIENT GREEK GODDESS", THEMIS," IS THE GODDESS OF GODDESS OF CUSTOM, SOCIAL ORDER, AND LAW. SHE IS THE PERSONIFICATION OF THE 'LAW OF NATURE'. ACCORDING TO THE SIGNIFICATION OF HER NAME, HER OFFICE IS TO INSTRUCT MANKIND TO DO THINGS HONEST, JUST, AND RIGHT. THEMIS WAS ONE OF THE ELDEST CHILDREN OF GAIA, THE EARTH, AND URANUS, OR HEAVEN; HENCE, SHE WAS FROM THE VERY FIRST DYNASTY OF ANCIENT GREEK GODS AND WAS THE FIRST TO INSTRUCT MORTALS IN THE LAWS OF JUSTICE AND MORALITY. CONSIDERED THE MOST POWERFUL OF THE OLYMPIANS, "THEMI"S STOOD at the side of "ZEUS."
SHE WAS ALSO THE GODDESS OF IMPORTANT ASSEMBLIES AND COUNCILS IN WHICH KINGS OF NATIONS WOULD HEAR PETITIONS AND WAS INVOKED AT EVERY ASSEMBLY IN ANCIENT GREECE. SHE HAD THE GIFT OF PROPHECY, AND SOME SAY SHE WAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE "ORACLES OF DELPHI" OVER WHICH SHE PRESIDED OVER WITH "APOLLO."
