In Ancient Greek mythology, justice is one of the fundamental concepts not only for humans but also for the gods. However, the Greek gods' understanding of justice is quite different from today's ethical and legal norms. The gods often stretch the boundaries of justice to protect their own power and interests. In this meeting, we will delve deep into the gods' perception of justice in Greek mythology.

The justice of the gods is often governed by the principle that might makes right. Instead of promising a fair world for humans, this perspective implies that power and authority are defined by divine measures. The gods' understanding of justice in Greek mythology is frequently shaped by decisions and punishments that bring suffering and destruction to humans. Conflicts among the gods also lead to different interpretations of justice.

During the meeting, we will examine how justice is perceived by the gods through mythological stories such as Ajax’s sense of justice and Orestes’ revenge. We will also explore how the wrath of the gods brings devastation to humans and how individuals struggle against these mighty beings. These myths reflect the differences between divine and human ethics while also carrying universal philosophical inquiries into modern times.

These mythological narratives, each carrying deep philosophical meanings, not only preserve the traces of an ancient culture but also provoke thoughts about the role of justice, wrath, power, and revenge throughout human history. Seeing how relative justice can be in the world of the Greek gods raises one of humanity’s most profound questions once again: Is justice truly equal for all?

This meeting offers a unique opportunity for those who wish to explore the deeper meanings within mythology and gain a new perspective on Greek culture.
