About Themis

THEMIS is a Greek Goddess - one of the most important of the lesser gods of Olympus.

She was one of Zeus's most trusted advisers and thus, she was also known as goddess of wisdom with clear sightedness and the gift of delivering oracles.

THEMIS represents the attitude and principles uphold by Themis Consulting:

• Maintaining objectivity and highest level of professionalism at all times

• Pragmatic, systematic and outcome-driven approach to service delivery

Referred to by the ancient Egyptian as "Maat", she was the goddess of harmony, justice, and truth.  Sometimes she is depicted with wings on each arm or as a woman with an ostrich feather on her head.

Referred to by the Romans as the goddess of Justice, she is often portrayed as evenly balancing both scales and a sword and wearing a blindfold; where the scales represent the impartiality and the sword signifies the power that is held by those making the decision.

Classical representations of Themis did not show her blindfolded nor was she holding a sword.  Almost always draped in flowing robes, mature but not old, she symbolizes the fair and equal administration of the law, without corruption, avarice, prejudice, or favour.
