According to solarviews.com:

"Adrastea was the daughter of Jupiter and Ananke and the distributor of rewards and punishments"

This, however, in mythology, is not accurate. Adrastea/Adrasteia/Adrastia (not running away) was the nurse of Jupiter/Zeus, along side her sister Ida, appointed to this task by Rhea - mother of Zeus, and their father might have been Melisseus (of Bees/Honey).

The tragedy Rhesus, no longer attributed to Euripides, makes Adrasteia the daughter of Zeus, rather than his nurse.

Adrasteia was also an epithet of Nemesis, Rhea herself, to Cybele, and to Ananke. These four were especially associated with the dispensation of rewards and punishments.
