Blind Lady of Justice

Themis is a figure from Greek mythology. She symbolizes the fair and equal administration of the law, without corruption, greed, prejudice or favor.

Themis is a character from Greek mythology who was responsible for upholding right and justice in human affairs. The scales in her left hand represent fairness; the sword and chain in her right hand are symbols of enforced justice. Themis was the wise and honest daughter of Uranos and Gaea, two of the Gods we learn about in Greek mythology. Themis gave sound advice to all of the Gods and Goddesses, and even Zeus listened to her counsel. Her name means "the right" or "divine justice."
