Nemesis

Nemesis was the Demi-goddess of Divine Justice and Retribution and Hercules' first love. Nemesis was the Executioner for the Olympian Gods, dealing out justice and vegeance on those Mortals who became too proud in their ways or in some way angered the Gods. Nemesis could transform into a white dove or into her human form. Hera sent Nemesis to kill Iolaus for the sin of pride. Iolaus was able to defeat a Hydra and Rankor's bandits with the help of Lydia and because he did so without arrogance, his execution was stayed (HTLJ "Pride Comes Before a Brawl").

When Salmoneus and Purces stole Hera's treasure in Orestia the goddess sent Nemesis to kill them for the sin of greed. Nemesis killed Purces but Hercules convinced her not to kill Salmoneus as he had been led to the treasure and was unaware that it belonged to Hera. Nemesis revealed to Hercules that when she was in human form she was as vulnerable as a mortal (HTLJ "The Fire Down Below").

She was rendered mortal by Hera upon her refusal to kill Hercules. With Ares, she is the mother of Evander (HTLJ "Two Men and a Baby").
