Nemisis is...Goddess of Retribution and Vengeance in a big way. She knows where you are. Don't try to get too clever, too lucky or too rich. NEMESIS particularly hates arrogance and offences against the natural order of things. Jaywalking may carry divine penalties - and don't even think of running a red light.Her parentage is obscure. Daughter of ZEUS? OCEANUS? EREBUS? No-one is certain and we'd rather not risk getting it wrong. There's also a possible twist involving LEDA and a clutch of eggs.NEMESIS is depicted as a stern-looking woman holding a whip, or sometimes a pair of scales. In the Hellenistic period she was occasionally shown holding a steering wheel - which just proves what we were saying about the red lights.
