While often associated with justice, Dike, alongside her sisters Eunomia (Good Order) and Eirene (Peace), belonged to a lesser-known aspect of the Horae – the goddesses of the seasons. Like them, she likely embodied a specific element of spring’s bounty, perhaps the flourishing of vegetation or the blossoming of new life.
Further blurring the lines between mythologies, one of her epithets was Astraea, linking her to the constellation Virgo.
