On Mythology Explained we will be diving deep in to all kinds of Mythology: Greek, Roman, Norse, Chinese, Egyptian - you name it. If you've always been curious about the beginnings of Hercules or how Zeus came to be- then this is the podcast for you.
Nemesis was the goddess of retribution. She personified the power that visited punishment on those guilty of wrongdoing. Some myths feature her as human-like, but often she was conceptualized as an omnipresent force rather than a physical entity. Her power functioned something like moral gravity, only punishing instead of pulling. When a person jumps, gravity pulls them back down to earth, and similarly, under the auspices of Nemesis, when a person did something bad, they were punished.
