On Zeus Alastor
Alastor (Greek: Ἀλάστωρ, "the avenger, the one who does not forget") is an epithet and aspect of Zeus himself. Zeus Alastor is the face of the supreme God when justice demands retribution against the most extreme offenders: tyrants, oath-breakers, murderers of kin, and persecutors of the innocent. The name derives from the verb alasteo (ἀλαστέω, "to be unable to forget a wrong"), making Alastor the embodiment of inescapable divine memory. Aeschylus (Agamemnon 1501, 1508) uses alastor to describe the avenging spirit that haunts the House of Atreus. Plutarch (De sera numinis vindicta) discusses the role of the alastor as the divine agent of delayed justice. The pairing with Nemesis (his "sister" in the ritual) reflects the dual nature of divine retribution: Nemesis measures the transgression, Alastor executes the consequence.
