Themis and the Scales of Justice

Published: March 13, 2022, 5:27 a.m.

Themis is untranslatable. A gift of the gods and a mark of civilized  existence, sometimes it means right custom, proper procedure, social  order, and sometimes merely the will of the gods (as revealed by an omen, for example) with little of the idea of right. -Finley, The World of Odysseus, rev. ed.(New York: Viking Prewss) 1978: 78, note.
