From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 81.47.192.179 (talk) at 12:08, 2 June 2005 (adrasteia wasn't a goddess but a nymph who raised Zeus). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

In Greek mythology Adrasteia (inescapable) was a nymph who raised Zeus, and also an epithet applied to Rhea, Cybele, Nemesis and Ananke. As Adrasteia, these four were especially associated with the despensation of rewards and punishments.
