In Greek mythology, Adrasteia (Ancient Greek Ἀδράστεια, "the inescapable") is the Cretan nymph, daughter of Melisseus, whom Rhea entrusted with the infant Zeus together with her sister Ida. Originally a Phrygian mountain goddess associated with Cybele, she was later identified with Nemesis. This atlas node is the Dictaean nurse — not the Nemesis epithet alone.

I.Nurse of Zeus
Apollodorus says Rhea gave the newborn Zeus to the Curetes and to the nymphs Adrasteia and Ida, daughters of Melisseus, to nurse in the cave of Dicte; they fed him on honey and the milk of the goat Amalthea. Callimachus has Adrasteia and the Meliae lay Zeus in a golden cradle; Apollonius describes a wondrous ball she gave the child in the Idean cave, later used by Aphrodite to bribe Eros.
Hyginus lists Adrasta among Jove's nurses and varies parentage (Melisseus, Oceanus, or Dodonian Naiads) — a hazard of shared titles among the Idaean company.
II.Phrygian goddess and Nemesis
Early fragments (Phoronis, Aeschylus' Niobe) present Adrasteia as a Phrygian mountain goddess served by the Idaean Dactyls, scarcely distinguishable from Cybele. By the late fifth century BC Antimachus and others identify her with Nemesis; Plato and the tragedians invoke her against boastful speech. Cult is attested at Cyzicus, on Phrygian Ida, in Athens with Bendis' accounts, and with Nemesis at Kos.
The atlas id adrasteia-cretan is the Cretan nurse of Zeus (oread kinds). Wider Nemesis/Cybele identifications belong to reception; do not merge her with Argive Adrastus or with unrelated Adrasteia place-names.
