Themis in Mythology
Themis was the Titaness of order and justice. Her word was seen as law. Themis is depicted as the blindfolded goddess, seated upon her throne, carrying a sword and a scale. The blindfold symbolizes her impartiality in judgment and setting reward or penalty. The scale was used to measure the deed at hand, and the sword was used to deliver justice.
