In Greek mythology, Adicia or Adikia (Ἀδικία) was the goddess and personification of injustice and wrong-doing.^[1]

An image of Dike, the goddess of justice, overcoming Adikia appears in two archaic vase paintings.^[2] The scene was also shown on the chest of Cypselus, in which Adikia was portrayed as a hideous, barbaric woman covered in tattoos being dragged by Dike with one hand, while in the other she held a staff which she beat her with or she is depicted being throttled by Dike.^[3]

A beautiful woman is punishing an ugly one, choking her with one hand and with the other striking her with a staff. It is Justice (Dike) who thus treats Injustice (Adikia).^[3]
