Dike, Dice
The Greek goddess of moral justice.

Dike (Δίκη, "justice") ruled over human justice; her mother (Themis) ruled over divine justice.

She was one of the Horae (Seasons) who guarded the interests of the individual and represented justice. Her emblem was a sword.

Dike was born a mortal and Zeus placed her on earth to keep mankind just. He quickly learned this was impossible and placed her next to him on Olympus.
