 * ... another source adds in this connection that Pherekydes made the Hesperides daughters of Zeus and Themis (X Hipp 742 = 3F16d; Jacoby argues confusion with the Eridanos Nymphai here).


 * p. 7
 * The later passage at 904 revises their [the Moirai's] genealogy in accordance with the new order and makes them the offspring of Themis and Zeus, who is the source of their power.


 * p. 7–8
 * More unusually, in a fragment of Pindar they [the Moirai] bring Themis as wife to Zeus, thus suggesting that they cannot here be his children by her (fr 30.3 SM).


 * p. 9


 * p. 10
 * To Ouranos she [Gaia] bears first twelve relatively normal children, six male and six female, whom Hesiod will later call “Titans”: Okeanos, Koios, Kreios, Hyperion, Iapetos, Kronos, Theia, Rheia, Themis, Mnemosyne, Phoibe, and Tethys (Th 132-38).


 * p. 38
 * But when Leto is ready to deliver Apollo, and various goddesses—Dione, Rheia, Themis, and Amphitrite, among others—have come to attend her ... the birth is accomplished by Leto leaning against Mount Kynthos, and Themis gives the child nectar and ambrosia.
