Nemesis: Goddess of Retribution, Greek Mythology's Avenging Angel
Nemesis was the goddess of retribution. She personified the power that visited punishment on those guilty of wrongdoing. Some myths feature her as human-like, but often she was conceptualized as an omnipresent force rather than a physical entity. Her power functioned something like moral gravity, only punishing instead of pulling. When a person jumps, gravity pulls them back down to earth, and similarly, under the auspices of Nemesis, when a person did something bad, they were punished.
