Necessĭtas

（Ἀνάγκη). A goddess regarded as superior even to the gods themselves, since she represented the Inevitable. At Corinth there was a temple dedicated to Ανάγκη and Βία (Force), which no one was permitted to enter (Pausan. ii. 4, 6). Among the Romans her symbol is the nail, as fixing fast the decrees of Fate. See Hor. Carm. i. 35 Carm., 17.
