The issue of Justice is topical at a time when heinous national crimes have occurred and Justice has passed them by. The destruction of Cyprus which did not concern the judges except the trial of the Juntis for the coup and not the betrayal of the mega island by the Juntis and politicians, the issue of the Memoranda that seized 35% of the wealth of Greece, the graying of the Greek territory of Imia, the Macedonian tradition in the Slavic state of Skopje, now the accuracy is more than twice that of Europe and let’s leave the big accidents (Mati-Tempe). She was determined to find the main perpetrators of both tragedies. Blind justice, however, sees the far-right parties and dissolves them instantly and cooperates harmoniously with the Executive power, often at the expense of the citizens. Next we will see how our ancient ancestors saw Nemesis?
Nemesis was the daughter of Erebus, or Night and Ocean, or the end of Zeus and Necessity. He was the punisher of the unjust, the arrogant and the arrogant. But he also observed wars whether they were fought in a just or unjust manner and prevented illicit love affairs. Think of the Nemesis of that time, what would she say about the unnatural marriages of the Loatkis for which Mr. Mitsotakis sacrificed more than a million voters? Even the elite US SEALS have declared their surrender and are participating in the “geypride” parade. Anyone who is opposed to the Chinese is not placed in the Western camp, as was the case in the USSR for those who were opposed to communism. Such insanity has struck the West that is why it is going down.
Nemesis would have condemned Israel for the genocide in Gaza because it inflicted disproportionate casualties on the Palestinians. In fact it is openly carrying out the complete genocide of the Palestinians without the awareness of Western society
Nemesis punished even the dead, those who lived unjustly and abusively in society. Today our Christian religion says “the rightful one” and the streets, squares and busts of the two “national leaders” of Greece and Cyprus, of “Andreas the Great” who plunged us into debt, of the centenarian “Costa” who gave the name FYROM to Skopje were filled etc
Nemesis had a dual power: the first to prevent people from becoming evil and the other to punish the evil. Because the justice between men was corrupted and the evil-doers, abusive and arrogant became numerous and could no longer be corrected, he ascended to heaven and the Nemesis became Themis and Adrastea. But she did not leave complete freedom to criminals and abusive and arrogant. The Persians were so arrogant at that time who had taken a piece of marble from Paros to set up their trophy when they would occupy Athens. They were hated by the goddess Nemesis for their arrogance, and those who landed at Marathon and on the coast of Rhamnouda suffered a grievous defeat. This resulted in the survivors abandoning everything and fleeing to save his life. The Athenians took all that the Persians left in their flight, and that piece of marble was given to Pheidias, who made the statue of Nemesis. Mussolini had also succumbed to the same arrogance, who bluntly declared that he would arrive in Athens within a week and was punished by Nemesis with humiliation. In the same arrogant manner, Erdogan is now behaving towards Greece, but unfortunately here the Nemesis has now become Appeasement and surrender without resistance by Mr. Mitsotakis and Gerapetritis. Turkophobia? Turcolagnia? Interests; Execute commands?
Nemesis had a sanctuary in Ramnunda, Attica
When Alexander the Great crossed into Asia, he went hunting in the area of Smyrna, which was Greek from ancient times. He took a lot of game and on the way back as he was tired and thirsty he found a spring and next to it a plane tree and sat down in its shade on Mount Pagon. He drank cold water and fell asleep for a while. The Nemeses appeared to him in his sleep and told him to move the Smyrnaeans there to their former city. Because old Smyrna was previously seized by the Ionians of Colophon and expelled the Aeolians from there.
The Smyrnaeans in Claros Hearing the vision, the Smyrnaeans sent representatives to Claron and asked for an oracle from the Oracle there who said the following:
“They are three lucky and four lucky men stand together”
“The ice dwellers past the Melitos presbytery”
In the end, Zeus met with Nemesis and as the poem by Stasimos Cyprios says, “Because the people became very numerous and impious, the Earth, not suffering this useless burden, begged Zeus to lighten it from the useless burden. Then Zeus began the Theban war” But since few were killed Zeus asked Themin and according to others Momon how he would save the man the god Zeus. He is the god of mockery and sarcasm. From there the Momogeri are drawn. According to others, Zeus decided with lightning and floods gave him two opinions: to give Thetin to a mortal man and from this marriage a man of valor and warlike will be born (like Achilles or Heracles) and secondly that he too will give birth to a beautiful daughter and from this there will be a great war between the Greeks and Barbarians and the human race will be reduced. This is how it happened. Zeus from Nemesis gave birth to the Beautiful Helen who became the cause of the Trojan War between Greeks and Trojans as Homer writes. With the difference that this war was essentially a civil war between fellow nations
The statue of Nemesis built by Pheidias at Ramnunda was ten feet in size in one piece of marble, she wore a crown on her head and on the crown small statuettes of Nike, with some deer, in one hand she held a flask, in the other an apple branch, in the flask they were painted Ethiopians, and on the pedestal he built Leda carrying her daughter Helen to Nemesis. The Smyrnaeans depicted her as winged like Eros, and a bow was found in one hand and a bridle in the other.
Everything has its own symbolism. Victory the boundless power, the deer the cowardice of those punished by her, the apple tree the cruelty because from this tree they made their arrows, the bottle with the Ethiopians was an enigma. Pausanias asked the priests to give some explanation, and they told him that the flask signified the ocean, because he was thought to be the father of Nemesis, and the Ethiopians dwell near it on some island
Forehead and bridle mean:
“Nemesis prophesies to the elbow, to the bridle”
“Don’t measure what they say, don’t say carelessly”
“You hold under your elbow ai biotan”
Orpheus dedicates the 8th Hymn to Nemesis
Since ancient times, the problem of the increase in the population of the Earth had been raised in the Greek world. That’s why they had set a measure to everything even in Nemesis. Heron Alexandreus had in his hands many ready-made machine theories and worked them experimentally with success, but they were never put into practice. The steam engine was put into operation only in 1776. Archytas had thrown a jet object (the pigeon of Archytas) and many other inventions that are not of the present moment to display. The fact that they did not put them into practical application was because they respected the universal law and considered any disturbance that would cause the environment to be an insult and harmful to the Earth and to man. Instead, they used applications and machines that were environmentally friendly and even thousands of years ago (air, water and possibly others we don’t know about). Anyone who visits Ancient Messina will admire colossal stones of at least 250 tons at the western gate of the site to block the invasion of the Arcadians in prehistoric Messinia, from the time of Nestor and before. How they carried such massive and heavy elbows up the mountain from afar, because there was no quarry nearby. With what means did they cut it, how did they square it, how did they transport it by winding roads up the mountainside? It’s really amazing and still no one has given an explanation. Were those people that strong? Did the giant bones found in Arcadia really live? Did the people of that time invent ways to remove gravity? They still remain mysteries
The direction of the world changed after the violent destruction of the Greek world and its culture with the invasion of the well-known cosmopolitan religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam). of technology now the destruction of our planet is infinitely easier, even its complete destruction. Where will the disaster reach? When will she stop? Perhaps, Necessity will act at some time, or Indifference has other plans for humanity that we ignore.(6/17/24)
