Yes! Amazing what inkhorn can be accomplished in 72 hours.
-for a picture of a Greek Nemesis w/wheel go to
http://www.pantheon.org/mythica/gallery/greek/nemesis.html
 Apuleius puts her in the pantheon with Isis as Rhamnusia.
Thomas Taylor implies the associatio of a wheel with her in Orphic Hymn "To
Nemesis" in
"Changing the counsels of the human breast
For ever various, rolling without rest."
She is often depicted with scales in one hand. See Aeschylus,
"Dika de tois men pathousin mathein epirrepei" - "Justice inclineth her
scales so that wisdom cometh at the price of suffering."- So far as we know
the dead are usually exonerated. Nemesis is then done with them except
perhaps in the case of Pound or Erigena.
"...and they dug him up out of sepulture
soi disantly looking for Manichaeans."
                                            Canto LXXIV
Charles Moyer
