As the goddess of law and justice, Themis helped Zeus defeat Cronus and assist Zeus on Mount Olympus. Temis was Zeus' most respected and trusted wife. He is the creator and guardian of order. [2]
Zeus ate his first wife Metis, which Temis was very disgusted with. So she created the laws of marriage, invented the concept of family, and established the obligations between men and women to bind Zeus.
In a battle, Hera seduced Zeus to divert his attention from the battlefield, but was later scolded and pulled his face back to Olympus. Upon seeing the return of Tian Tian Tian, all the gods raised their wine glasses to pay their respects, but Hera ignored none and only took the cup of Temis. When Temis asked her why she was so panicked, Hera replied, "Goddess Temis, you don't need to ask me about these things at all. You yourself know how severe and violent his heart is. Now please lead the gods to an equal palace banquet." Hera and Temis, both women of Zeus, are naturally self-evident about some things and don't need to ask too much.
Hera even referred to Themes as "Lady Themis," which was something other women around Zeus had never received.
She is usually portrayed in artistic works as holding a scale and weighing testimony from both parties. She knew the future and secrets that even Zeus did not know, such as the fate of the son of the sea goddess Thetis, who would be stronger than his father. It was precisely because of her wisdom that Prometheus was freed from Zeus' punishment on him. As Gaia's successor, she holds the oracle of Delphi, and it is she who reveals to Pyrrha and Deucalion how to rebuild their homes after the flood. She also informed Atlas that one day a son of Zeus would come to steal the golden apples from Hesperides Garden. Because of this, Atlas refused to help Perseus. Later, she handed over the oracle of Delphi to her sisters Phoebe, the goddess of light, and Apollo killed Delphi's Pitong (python) to take over the role.

Temis often sat next to the throne of Zeus as the emperor. She is steadfast and selfless, and holds the law as firm as a mountain. She used her wisdom to make various indisputable decisions for the heavens. The charming Temis is the goddess in charge of the halls of Mount Olympus and the whole universe. Zeus is not only the father of Mount Olympus gods, but also the king of mankind. The decisions and orders made by the Heavenly God at the suggestion of Themis were transmitted by the goddess Iris to the gods. Iris has a pair of wings, and her feet walk as fast as a gust of wind. When she descends from the sky to the earth, her speed drops like hail from the clouds to the ground. She repeated the decision of heaven to people word by word, and then spread a pair of Iridescence wings to fly back to Mount Olympus. She sat on the steps of the throne of Zeus, attentive. Even though she never slacks off during sleep, she never lifts her veil because once the heavens give orders, she must immediately fly to the designated location.
After the rise of Olympian worship, in some places, the fate goddess Moerae, who was originally the daughters of the Night Goddess Nichols, was also written as her daughter with Zeus.

QUOTE:
In ancient Greek mythology, the goddess who presided over justice and order was Themis. According to the Chronicles of the Gods, Themis was born to Uranus, the god of heaven, and Gaia, the goddess of the earth. As a goddess of law and justice, Themis is usually depicted as a blindfolded goddess wearing a white robe and a golden crown, with a scale in her left hand and a sword in her right hand, leaning against a staff. Wrap a snake around a stick, sit a dog under your feet, have a power crutch on your desk, several books, and a skeleton. According to the interpretation of European iconography, the white robe symbolizes moral flawless and upright; Blinding, because justice relies solely on reason and does not rely on misleading sensory impressions; Crown, because justice is unparalleled and honor comes first; Scale is a metaphor for judging fairness, in the face of justice, everyone gets what they deserve, no more, no less; Sword means severe sanctions and no tolerance; The baton, originally a symbol of the highest law enforcement officer in ancient Rome, was the embodiment of authority and punishment; Snakes and dogs, respectively, represent hatred and friendship, and neither shall affect the referee.

QUOTE:
Lady Justice's blindfold
The biggest characteristic of the image of Themes is the blindfold on his face. Legend has it that one day, the gods in the heavens fell apart, and the world was on the brink of disaster. No one dares to step forward to mediate and arbitrate. Bloody people are easily seduced by fairies, while sophisticated people dare not speak up to power. I have searched all over the sky and earth, but there is no suitable candidate. Finally, a goddess with a white robe and a golden crown stood next to the Heavenly Emperor, took out a handkerchief, tied it to her eyes, and loudly said, "I come!" The gods nodded and agreed: since she had blindfolded her eyes and could not see the appearance and identity of the dispute, she would not be tempted by profit and did not have to fear power. Blinding is not blindness, but self-restraint, a deliberate choice of posture. This allusion leads to a proverb: "Procedure is the blindfold of justice." This sentence has been included as a proverb in legal dictionaries and is often cited. The goddess who stood up in the critical moment was Themis, and later generations were honored as the Lady Justice.
Statue of Lady Justice
Themis, the Lady Justice, blindfolded her eyes to show that she is impartial and unselfish. No matter who she is, she will treat everyone equally. She holds the Libra in her left hand, symbolizing absolute fairness and justice, used to measure all injustices in the world. Holding a sword to kill evil in the right hand and placing it behind the back symbolizes killing all evil people in the world, punishing evil and promoting good. The front scale and the back sword indicate that although she advocates justice, she does not advocate unnecessary killing, and also implies that no one can use the name of justice to kill others without reason. Stepping on a venomous snake means that all evil in front of her will never come to light. [4]

QUOTE:
Libra
The left hand of Lady Justice Themis symbolizes absolute fairness and justice, and is used to measure all injustice in the world. Later, it was thrown out by Themis and transformed into a Libra symbol, symbolizing the inherent justice between heaven and earth.
Kill Evil Sword
The right hand of Lady Justice Themis is used to kill all evil people in the world, punish evil and promote good. It is a powerful magic weapon to maintain justice and righteousness.
Bundle
The reliance of Lady Justice represents the highest law enforcement power in Rome and is the embodiment of authority and punishment. The Roman name was Fascis, which was once misused by the Nazi Germany, representing power and violence above all else. Now, its original meaning should be restored.

With a sharp sword in hand and dark eyes, the righteous god Themis exudes a sacred and inviolable sense of justice, making all evil tremble and nowhere to hide in front of her. So statues of Themis are often seen in courts or arbitration institutions. In addition, people will also set up a statue of the Lady Justice on their desk to show their fairness and integrity, dispel the evil forces around them, and achieve the goal of eliminating villains.
