Roman Name: Nemesis
Translation: Dispenser of Dues.
Karma
Nemesis is the personification of dues, for those who have done bad or good, what they deserve eventually catches up to them. She was highly resented by men who had committed crimes of all sorts, and appreciated by those with kind hearts. She is who measured and kept balance in the affairs of humans, between happiness and unhappiness, if one was too happy she would bring despair. She was often concerned with things like love and fortune as she believed it brought out the worst in people, especially as she is a revenge driven deity. She's not depicted as a beautiful woman nor an old hag, but an average lady with clean hair, large nose, average hips and big eyes. This is particularly interesting as it means the Greeks don't see her as neither good nor bad, but rather, what needs to be.
