Themis Quotes

“So about a million pages ago, I mentioned Zeus's first wife, the Titan Metis. Remember her? Neither did I. I had to go back and look. All these names: Metis and Thetis and Themis and Feta Cheese—I get a headache trying to keep them straight.”
― Rick Riordan, Percy Jackson's Greek Gods

“On the Roots of the World’s Great Evils

I was born to vanquish three extreme evils:
tyranny, sophism, and hypocrisy;
so now I realize with how much harmony
Themis taught me Power, Intellect, and Love.
These are true and supreme principles
of the great philosophy revealed,
the remedy against the triple lie,
under which you, oh world, quiver weeping.
Famines, wars, plagues, envy, deceit,
injustice, lust, sloth, and disdain,
all depend on these three great evils
which in blind self love have their deserving son,
the root and instigator of ignorance.
Therefore, I come to pluck out ignorance.”
― Tommaso Campanella, Selected Philosophical Poems of Tommaso Campanella
