Invidia
Invidia is the Roman equivalent of Nemesis. The name Invidia comes from the Latin invidere which means to look against, to look at in a hostile manner. It is associated with jealousy or envy and also the Evil Eye. The jealousy here is not merely a negative feeling against one who has what you have not, but a feeling that what another has is unjust or undeserved, offending one's sense of justice in the world.
