JUSTICE,;THE MOTHER OF LAW. - BY JIDE MASTER OF THE ROLLS.

*JUSTICE;THE MOTHER OF LAW*

Thus there is to be found in Homeric Mythology the notion of Justice as a regulative principle or law which encompasses the social and moral order of human affairs.

The origin however may be Themis a Greek mythological goddess. One of the Titans pre-hetheric nature deities, born to Uranus and Ge, she remained and advised Zeus after his purge of the old pantheon.

In depictions of her, she carries the Scales of Justice in one hand and a sword in the other, her eyes covered. She became an oracle of Delphi and became known as a goddess of Divine Justice.

A daughter of Themis and Zeus, Dike, known as a goddess of justice but not Divine Justice, presided over the appointment of things among mortals, the protection of individuals and the keeping of social and political order.

She carries a sword without a scale of justice. At times Dike is said to be the same (or is she confused with?)  Astrea. Astrea is also said to be the daughter of Themis and Zeus and is known as a goddess of justice. Also known as daughter of Eos and Astraeus1, her head was crowned with ears of grain and for its measure carried a balance or scale.

 Astrea was the last of the immortals to leave earth after the Golden age. She was also called a goddess of purity and innocence. She became the constellation Virgo. Dike left earth when the race of bronze was born. The Egyptians honored Maat the daughter of the son god. Ra, she also carried a sword but without a scale of justice.*

JUSTITIA, a Roman goddess of justice, wore a blindfold. She had been depicted, with sword and scales, but was not always so. However representations of the LADY OF JUSTICE in the Western Tradition occur in many places and at many times. She sometimes wears a blindfold, more so in Europe, but more often she appears without one. She usually carries a sword and scales. Almost always draped in flowing robes, mature but not old, no longer commonly known as Themis, she symbolizes the fair and equal administration of the law without corruption, avarice, prejudice or favour .

For those who have no clear knowledge about that statute you come across as described, now you know better!!!!!!!!!
