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.
The Greek word themis meant divine law, rules established by custom and
tradition. 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). She was also identified with Gaia
(Earth) in the role of an earthly oracle or the prophetic voice of the earth
herself.
