Femida (Themis)

s and six daughters of Gaia and Uranus (Earth and Sky). Among these Titans of primordial myth, few were venerated at specific sanctuaries in classical times.

The only consort for Themis mentioned in the sources below is Zeus. One of her few children was called Natura, the Greek goddess of the forest.

Horae: the Hours
With Zeus she more certainly bore the Horae,[9] those embodiments of the right moment – the rightness of order unfolding in time – and Astraea.

First generation:

Auxo (the grower)
Carpo (the fruit-bringer)
Thallo (the plant-raiser)
Second generation:

Dike (justice)
Eirene (peace)
Eunomia (order of law)
Moirai: the Fates
Followers of Zeus claimed that it was with him that Themis produced the Moirai, three Fates.[10] A fragment of Pindar,[11] however, tells that the Moirai were already present at the nuptials of Zeus and Themis; that in fact the Moirai rose with Themis from the springs of Okeanos the encircling world-ocean and accompanied her up the bright sun-path to meet Zeus at Mount Olympus. To compliment Pindar, Hesiod also tells us in the Theogony that the Moirai were bore from Nyx who lay with no one.[12]

Clotho (the weaver)
Lachesis (the lot-caster)
Atropos (the inevitable)
Cult
Themis had several temples in Greece, though they are not described in any great detail by ancient authors. She had temples at the oracular shrine of Zeus at Dodona, at Tanagra,[13] in Athens,[14] and a Temple of Themis Ikhnaia in Phthiotis, Thessalia.[15] Pausanias describe her sanctuary in Thebes in somewhat more detail than what was normally the case and it may therefore have been of more importance:

"Along the road from the Neistan gate [at Thebes, Boiotia] are three sanctuaries. There is a sanctuary of Themis, with an image of white marble; adjoining it is a sanctuary of the Moirai (Moirae, Fates) [her daughters], while the third is of Zeus Agoraios (of the Market)."[16]
Themis also had an altar in Olympia: "On what is called the Stomion (Mouth) the altar to Themis has been built."[17] Themis was sometimes depicted in the sanctuaries of other gods and may have shared temples with them occasionally, and she is mentioned to have shared a temple with Aphrodite in Epidauros: "Within the grove [of the sanctuary of Asklepios (Asclepius) at Epidauros] are a temple of Artemis, an image of Epione, a sanctuary of Aphrodite and Themis, a race-course."[18]
