According to Greek legend, Adrestia was the daughter of Ares (the God of War) and Aphrodite (the Goddess of Love), and the grand-daughter of Zeus and Hera.

​

Adrestia was the Goddess of Retribution, bringing just action against evil. She is described as "she whom none can escape" due to her relentless nature. 

​

Adrestia is often depicted accompanying her father to war, but not always - she only joined the fray where justice needed to be served. Her fierce reputation meant that her support was coveted, including by the Gods themselves, who fought for her support against the Titans.
