Then she flew to the mountains, turning her back on humans. Dike gave a speech to the entire race, warning them about the dangers of leaving behind the ideals of their predecessors and saying worse was yet to come. Zeus introduced the four seasons and humans no longer honoured the gods as they had used to. When Zeus fulfilled the old prophecy and overthrew his father, this marked the beginning of the Silver Age, which was not as prosperous. The Golden Age was marked by prosperity and peace, everlasting spring, and humans never knowing old age. She was born a mortal and placed on Earth to rule over human justice. In Greek mythology, Dike lived in the Golden Age of mankind. Dike was also sometimes known as Astraeia, daughter of Astraeus, considered father of the stars, and Eos, goddess of the dawn. She is located next to Libra, the constellation representing the scales of justice.
