	Nemesis (mythology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nemesis (called Rhamnousia, the "goddess of Rhamnous", at her sanctuary at Rhamnous, north of Marathon), in Greek mythology, is the spirit of divine retribution against those who sucumb to hubris, vengeful fate personified as a remorseless goddess.
		She was sometimes called Adrasteia, probably meaning "one from whom there is no escape"; her epithet Erinys ("implacable") is specially applied to Demeter and the Phrygian mother goddess, Cybele.
		As the "Goddess of Rhamnous", Nemesis was honoured and placated in an archaic sanctuary in the isolated district of Rhamnous in northeastern Attica.

		A fortified acropolis dominates the two small harbors, from which grain was imported for Athens during the Peloponnesian War.
		Otherwise, Rhamnous was strategically significant enough to be fortified and receive an Athenian garrison.

		Much recent work at Rhamnous, on the NE coast of Attika, has concentrated on the fortress, one of the major boundary garrisons especially prominent in the later fourth and third centuries BC.
		That the fortress had close social links with the nearby sanctuary of Nemesis is clear from a number of inscriptions, including the recently-published decree of c.255 BC proposing that the Rhamnousians sacrifice to the Macedonian king Antigonos Gonatas ‘at the athletic contest of the Great Nemesia’.
		Rhamnous offers a safe harbour on an otherwise inhospitable coast, connecting up with a land route to inland Attika, of crucial importance for the importation of corn supplies from Euboia during the Peloponnesian War.

		Many problems of interpretation to which I alluded already emerge in P.'s introduction, which focuses on Antiphon's identity, his works and his thought in its fifth-century context.
		As for the first of these topics, P. rejects the wide-spread 'unitarian' position, according to which Antiphon the sophist is to be identified with his contemporary Antiphon of Rhamnous, the politician and logographer.
		Instead he favours a 'separatist' position, based on a careful discussion of the ancient testimonia, the linguistic and stylistic characteristics of the works current in antiquity under the name of Antiphon and the ethical, political and religious ideas these works have been thought to reveal.

		The first case study surveys the appearances of Archaic Themis in literature and art, Thessalian Themis (unattested in cult before the fourth century), Themis at Rhamnous, and finally Ge Themis, at Delphi and Athens, which purports to be a test of the epithet theory--the idea that each personification began as an epithet of another god.
