Themis

Themis was the Titaness of law. Themis married Iapetus and watches over the planet Jupiter with him.  Themis also employed the 13 month  calendar to the Greeks. She was the daughter of Uranus and Gaia, as all of the original titans and Titanesses. By Zeus, she had the horae (hours) and the 3 fates Clotho, Lachesis and atropus. Themis was the only Titaness other than Rhea to share life with the Olympians.
