Dike

thumb|300px|Sure support of cities ~ Pindar In Greek mythology, Dike or Dice (Greek: Δίκη díkē, 'custom') is the goddess of justice and the spirit of moral order and fair judgement as a transcendent universal ideal or based on immemorial custom, in the sense of socially enforced norms and conventional rules. Quotes about Dike Eunomia and that unsullied fountain Dikē, her sister, sure support of cities; and Eirene of the same kin, who are the stewards of wealth for mankind — three glorious daughters of wise-counselled Themis." Pindar, quoted in Paul K. Chappell, Soldiers of Peace (2017), p. 226 And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live. (KJV) When the islanders saw the snake hanging from his hand, they said to each other, “This man must be a murderer; for though he escaped from the sea, the goddess Justice has not allowed him to live.” (NIV) Book of Acts, 28:4 Unsourced Dike, a goddess to many, an anguish to the wicked, | a blindfold that ties with the flaps. (Caparezza) The man who is most prominent in fact knows and keeps appearances for granted. Dike will condemn the perpetrators and witnesses of lies. (Heraclitus) They wouldn't know Dike's name if these things didn't exist. (Heraclitus) External links Category:Dike (Greek deity) Dike (mythology) Category:Greek gods
