Nemesis

The goddess of Divine Retribution.

Nemesis was the daughter of Nyx (Night); without her there will be no escape from worldly evil; in a surviving portion of the Epic Cycle, Kypria, Nemesis is said to be the daughter of Zeus and that she went to extraordinary lengths to avoid his amorous advances; Zeus chased her over land and sea as she assumed the guise of fish or land creatures to escape him.
