- Personified revenge for excessive pride and vanity in the face of the gods

Brief Bio

In ancient Greek religion and myth, Nemesis also called Rhamnousia was the goddess who personified retribution for the sin of hubris: arrogance before the gods. 

In the Greek tragedies Nemesis appears chiefly as the avenger of crime and the punisher of hubris, and as such is akin to Atë and the Erinyes. She was sometimes called Adrasteia, probably meaning "one from whom there is no escape".
