英语百科

Praxidike

In Greek mythology, Praxidike, is the goddess of judicial punishment and the exactor of vengeance, which were two closely allied concepts in the classical Greek world-view.

The Orphic Hymn to Persephone identifies Praxidike as an epithet of Persephone: "Praxidike, subterranean queen. The Eumenides’ source [mother], fair-haired, whose frame proceeds from Zeus’ ineffable and secret seeds." As praxis "practice, application" of dike "justice", she is sometimes identified with Dike, goddess of justice.
