		Dike, who is one of the HORAE, has been called the secure foundation of cities, as has Eirene 1 (Peace).
		For proclamations against Dike are impossible to be found, and states continuously invoke her, knowing that they would not be able to exist without her, who is the pillar of society.
		This is why the popularity of Dike is always close to 100%, and there is no doubt that she would win all elections in all countries if she cared to run for office.

	goddess
		Although Goddess appears to mirror monotheism, the term is frequently used for an inclusive spirituality that may embrace the God, gods, goddesses, ancestral spirits, faerie etc. When Goddess is spoken of as a personal guardian, as in 'my Goddess' it means 'my worldview in Goddess spirituality.' The Goddess is also followed by Wiccans and Discordants.
		Goddessing is a recent (unattributed) contribution to Goddess vocabulary, following on from Mary Daly's suggestion that Deity is too dynamic, too much in process, changing continually, to be a noun, and should better be spoken as a Verb (following Buckminster Fuller's "God is a verb").
		Goddesses or demi-goddesses appear in sets of three in a number of ancient European pagan mythologies; these include the Greek Erinyes (Furies) and Moirae (Fates); the Norse Norns (Fates); Brighid and her two sisters, also called Brighid, from Irish mythology, and so on.

		According to Hesiod, these goddesses were the daughters of Zeus and Themis, and were therefore the sisters of the Horae (however, it is interesting to note that Hesiod also claims, in the same poem, that the Fates were the offspring of Nyx, the goddess of Night).

		The goal of the journey is the palace of a goddess who welcomes Parmenides and instructs him in the two ways, that of Truth and the deceptive way of Belief, in which is no truth at all.
		It is not Parmenides, but the goddess, that expounds the system, and it is for this reason that the beliefs described are said to be those of 'mortals'.

		Following Aratus comparatively closely, he dedicates 44 lines to his digression on Virgo in comparison to Aratus' 41 (as B points out, this small discrepancy is due principally to Germanicus' insertion of a high-style invocation to the goddess [98-102] in which he asks her to attend to his song).
		While the Aratean Dike is a goddess of ethics concerned with individual principles of behavior, Germanicus' Iustitia is to be understood as primarily political and specifically as "la Giustizia come principio di autorità" (p.
		It is true that Germanicus presents the goddess in quite official-sounding language as a lawgiver (iura dabas, 110), but I do not see how this is so very different from the Aratean Dike's role as dôteira dikaiôn (113) who imparts themistas (107) to what appears to be a council of old men (gerontas, 105).

		Inevitably diké became Dike, the goddess, representing an eternal and divine principle of verity, the maiden daughter of Zeus.
		Dike may have been born an aristocrat, but after the coup of Clisthenes, which enabled the democrats to capture the power in the Senate, the assembly and the popular jury courts, the democrats began to claim that they had truth and justice on their side.
		Under Pericles this dream of empire was well on its way to realization when it precipitated the long and bitter Peloponnesian war (431-400 B.C.) between Athens and Sparta, which ended with the defeat of the Athenian fleet and army, and the liberation of her 'allies' from a hated economic subjugation.

		Astraea was that last immortal to leave after the golden age, and Dike too stayed for a long time; she is said to have stayed through the silver and golden ages, leaving the earth in the bronze age, when man first began to forge swords, and becoming the constellation virgo.
		Even after her acsention, Dike was still worshipped, for no one dared to go against justice; anyone who worked for injustice was thought to be mad.

	Parmenides-Zeno-Melissus
		In Parmenides, the narrator of the poem recounts a journey to the realm of a goddess, and this goddess discusses roads of inquiry and the opinions of mortals.
		This is not to say that the goddess or Parmenides thinks that mortals are justified or accurate in holding these opinions; perhaps the goddess or Parmenides thinks that this is about as good as mortals can do when it comes to describing their world.
		Parmenides' goddess is concerned about what must be said and conceived, in the most general way, regarding what is. Zeno examines the consequences of supposing that there are multiple things (especially in space and time, but conceivably also in general).
