Adrestia in
Greek mythology 'she who cannot be escaped' was the daughter of
Ares and
Aphrodite and known to accompany her father Ares to war. She was venerated as a goddess of revolt, just retribution and sublime balance between good and evil. Because of her role in revenge and retribution, she was usually portrayed with
Nemesis, and sometimes identical to Nemesis herself, who had the epithet of
Adrestia or Adrasteia. She was also believed to be another war figure, similar to her brothers
Phobos and
Deimos.
