Dike (Greek: Δίκη, meaning "justice") was the Greek goddess of moral justice. She was one of the three second-generation Horae, along with Eunomia and Eirene. She ruled over human justice while her mother Themis ruled over divine justice. Dike was born a mortal and Zeus placed her on Earth to keep mankind just. He quickly learned this was impossible and placed her next to him on Mount Olympus.
