Aratus, drawing on Hesiod’s account, recounts that in ancient times, although she was immortal, she lived on earth amongst mortals. She did not allow herself to be seen by men and lived amongst women; and the latter called her ~~“Dikè”~~.

Aratus, drawing on Hesiod’s account, tells us that in ancient times, although she was immortal, she lived on earth amongst mortals, and that they called her “Dike”. But when humanity fell into decay and no longer observed justice, she ceased to live amongst them and withdrew to the mountains. Then, when men were plunged into internal strife and wars, she turned away from them, horrified by their total lack of justice, and ascended to heaven. There are, moreover, a great many divergent traditions concerning her: one identifies her with Demeter (because of the ear of corn she holds), another with Isis, another with Atargatis, another with Tyche (Fortune), and for this reason she is depicted without a head. </blockquote><blockquote>The Virgin has a dim star on her head, one on each shoulder, two on each wing—the star on the right wing (on the shoulder and at the tip of the wing) is called “Protrygeter” (the Herald of the Harvest) — one on each elbow, one on each hand (the bright one on the left hand is called “the Ear of Corn”), six dull ones on the hem of her robe, and one on each foot.
