Praxidike, a terrifying goddess of punishment and redress of grievance, ruled the next ten days of the calendar of Greco-Egyptian Alexandria — her name literally meaning "the practicer of justice", she presided at trials of capital punishment and extracted vengeance in both the mortal and divine realms. At Thebes in Boeotia and elsewhere, her hand was stayed in mystery cult pantomimes only by Castor and Pollux the Dioscuri, who came with swift wings to assist mortals in accidental peril but who spurned the intentional and malicious criminal. Have you committed accidental wrongs for which you may atone? Does anything lurk in you that is truly unforgivable?
