If this happened, Nemesis could bring about losses and suffering. Happiness and unhappiness were measured out by her, care being taken that happiness was not too frequent or too excessive. Her name means she who distributes or deals out. Nemesis directed human affairs in such a way as to maintain equilibrium. She was a personification of the resentment aroused in men by those who commited crimes with apparent impunity, or who had inordinate good fortune. NEMESIS was the goddess of indignation against, and retribution for, evil deeds and undeserved good fortune. Dispenser of Dues Nemesis and Tyche, Athenian red-figure amphora C5th B.C., Antikensammlung Berlin
