Themis
View through CrossRef
Abstract
With the term
themis
, ancient Greeks indicated both a legal and social concept and a divine notion. The former is related to juridical systems of oral tradition, where the
themistes
are the set of rules or norms that established rights and obligations within the society, constituting the background and the framework of a justice administered by the “kings” through debates and arbitrations. The latter embodies – through the goddess Themis – the abstract regulation that runs the entire cosmic order, with which the gods themselves must comply, and can well be regarded as a metaphysical elaboration of the former's mechanics. In both the human and the divine frameworks,
themis
is strictly connected with
dike
, “justice,” which literally is the pathway “showed” (
deiknumi
) by the decisions compliant with the
themistes
; according to Hesiod's
Theogony
, indeed, Dike is Themis’ daughter.
