wonderful conversation piece!
Themis
was the Titan goddess of divine law and order - the traditional rules
of conduct first established by the Greek gods. She was also a prophetic
goddess who presided over the most ancient of the earthly oracles, including
the shrine of Delphi. In this role, she was the divine voice who first
instructed mankind in the primal laws of justice and morality, such as the
precepts of piety, the rules of hospitality, good governance, conduct of
assembly, and pious offerings to the gods.
In
Greek, the word themis meant divine law, rules established by custom and
tradition. Unlike the word nomos, the term was never used to describe laws
established by human decree.
Themis was an early bride of Zeus and his prime
counsellor. She was often represented seated beside his throne advising him on
the precepts of divine law and the rules of fate. Themis was closely
identified with Demeter in her role as the Thesmophoros (Law Bringer). Themis
was also identified with Gaia (Earth) especially in the role of earthly oracle
of the prophetic voice of earth itself.
