Themis
Themis is the personification and goddess of divine law, will, and justice in Greek mythology. She was held in high esteem by the Olympians, often sitting by Zeus' throne and giving him wise counsel. Themis held the place of Oracle at Delphi before passing on her prophetic powers to Apollo. Common epithets of Themis include Gaia Themis ('Earth' and 'Right').
Themis was the daughter of Uranus (Heaven) and Gaia (Earth) and the second wife of Zeus. She is often depicted with the sword of justice and scales, symbolising the law and judgement she gives.
Birth & Family
In Hesiod's (c. 700 BCE) Theogony, Themis is the daughter of Gaia (Earth) and Uranus (Heaven). She is the sister of Oceanus, Rhea, and Cronus.
And then she lay with Heaven, and bore Deep-whirling Oceanus and Koios; then Kreius, Iapetos, Hyperion, Theia, Rhea, Themis, Mnemosyne, Lovely Tethys, and Phoebe, golden-crowned.
(Theogony, 136-140)
Themis became Zeus' second wife (although some sources say she was his first). Her children with Zeus represented the visible order of the world. They included the Horae (the Seasons), Eirene (Peace), Dike (Justice) and the three Fates (Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos). In some sources, such as Aeschylus' (c. 525 to c. 456 BCE) tragedy Prometheus Bound, Themis is listed as being Prometheus' mother, although he is more commonly known as being the son of Iapetus and Clymene or Asia.

all these medusa retellings, do any of them even touch on Chrysaor? ain't he like a full on person? her son? anytime I look him up to see if people talk about him all I find is that he's a pedo in those percy jackson books
Rarely, they’re more interested in giving Medusa an OC daughter or making Pegasus a girl, bc god forbid the girlboss is also a boy mom, god forbid that we explore how a son rather than a daughter feels about his dead mother.

A couplet:
Qingxin has no heart, still it soothes the human heart.
Sweet Dream is no dream, yet it nurtures people’s dreams.
Oh my heart! The love that grew stronger! Such a wonderful poem written for her beloved. I love the event story quest and this is a type of love that stood in time, Finch with longing and hope, finally found again his soulmate. (Venti knew, all the more reason I feel that he knows what the wind whispers to him)
A love that she does not reciprocate, for it was unfamiliar and new.
A love that stood in time, grew and grew.
A love that she now fathoms and want to start a new.
A love that she longing for someone she knew and A love that she understood and now she pursue.
Here, she give him the purest heart that blooms like a morning dew.💖💖
