Themis

Themis is the Titan goddess of divine law, order and custom. She is a member of the first generation of the Titans, daughter of Uranus and Gaia, and was the second wife of Zeus.
==History==
===Early Life===
Themis was born as the second daughter among the twelve Titans, the eldest of the three races born to Gaia (Mother Earth) and Uranus (Father Sky). She, her sisters and her eldest brother Oceanus, all refused to take part in Cronus' usurpation and subsequent castration of Uranus.
===Life in the Golden Age===
Themis developed a good reputation with her brothers and sister, mediating even the worst arguments with exception of Kronos eating his children with Rhea, in which Themis failed.
Like many of her relatives, Themis didn't participate in the First Titanomachy, which would allow her to continue her role as counselor if the gods win the war.
===Marriage and Council to Zeus===
After the Olympians became the rulers of the universe, Zeus married Metis, a niece of Themis through Oceanus. However, Zeus swallowed a pregnant Metis in fear of a prophecy in which their son would overthrow him. Though Themis wasn't interested in marriage, she became Zeus' second wife in order to preserve peace, as none other Titaness wanted to marry him. Themis bore Zeus two pairs of triplets: the Horai (Eunomia, Dike and Eirene; goddesses of the seasons), and then the Moirai (Klotho, Lachesis and Atropos; the Fates). The Moirai were already born as elderly women and had powers superior to the gods, which horrified both of their parents. Fearing the prospect of having even more intimidating children with Themis, Zeus advocated to end their marriage, to which she agreed.
Though no longer married to Zeus, Themis continues provide counsel to the King of the Gods. She established law, order and custom among both the gods and mortals, organizing communal affairs and setting the stage for human civilization to develop. According to Homer's Iliad, Themis is charged with calling the gods to assembly on Mount Olympus.
===Trojan War===
Themis and Prometheus informed Zeus that the Nereid Thetis, whom he and Poseidon had both been trying to woo, was fated to give birth to a son who would be more powerful than his father. She suggested to Zeus that he should have Thetis marry a mortal. This did occur, not before Zeus had a child with Thetis without Themis' knowledge.
