nemesis
Nemesis is the Greek primordial goddess of retribution. Nemesis is portrayed as being a daughter of Oceanus or Zeus, but Hesiod states that she is a child of Erebus and Nyx. She has also been described as the daughter of Nyx alone. Nemesis is depicted as a winged goddess holding a whip or a dagger. The word Nemesis originally means the distributor of fortune, neither good nor bad, simply in due proportion to each according to what was deserved. Later, Nemesis came to suggest the resentment caused by any disturbance of this right proportion, the sense of justice that could not allow it to pass unpunished.
