The ancient Greek goddess of retribution (7)

I believe the answer is:

nemesis

(Other definitions for nemesis that I've seen before include "Something causing misery (or death) - Meissen (anag)" , "Agent of (someone's) downfall" , "causes downfall" , "Vengeful justice" , "Archenemy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
