I read a book called Chimera just a few weeks ago.
Science Fiction - It was fair.
Justice is relative, fleeting and blind.
Justice in the U.S. is pretty good compared to other countries. Justice for someone involved in a legal matter is rarely fully satisfying for either party involved, but that is by design. Those involved in the case are unable to see what is best for all.

Simply put, no. Justice is real, tangible, and avaliable. Moral relativism may try to make it seem ambiguous, the weak of character (or those targeted by it) may try to make it seem unfair, the overly legalistic may cause it to appear to be undesirable, those who abuse our legal system cause it to look unattainable, but all they can do is distort perception. Justice is more unchanging than the forces that hold reality together, more real than the hand attached to your arm, and best of all, it is right there, ripe and ready to be taken by any people who have the desire and the fortitude to do so. All we have to do is want it enough to go out into our world and use our combined influence as the people of the United States of America to MAKE IT HAPPEN!

No.
If you want to draw from mythology, choose the right mythology. Justice is the two sided sword of Damacles swing by a thread over your head. It cuts in both directions and if the thread breaks it cuts you too. No justice works alright. It works for you, against you and sometimes in spite of you.

If you mean that its a mere wild fancy or an unfounded conception, then no, probably not.
If you mean a mythological fire-spouting monster with a lion's head, goat's body, and serpent's tail, then no, definitely not.
