Furies

Furies

     The Furies where three sisters named Tisiphone(The avenger of murder), Megaera(The Grudging), and Alecto(The constant anger). The Furies were female spirits of justice and vengeance. They were also called the Erinyes which means the "Angry Ones". The Furies knew no bounds to their punishments, for they would keep pursuing their victims, often to suicide and even after death until they showed remorse. Even though they were portrayed as evil they weren't always so. They represented justice and were seen as defenders of  moral and legal order. They only punished people who had done wrong so people who were innocent and good had nothing to fear from them.  Their parents were Gaia, the goddess of the Earth, known as the great mother of all and Uranus, the God known as the Father of the Sky. The Furies were created by drops of blood that fells from Uranus's wound, when his son Chronus castrated him to take vengance for the loss of his siblings which fell to the Earth which was Gaia. The first drop of blood created Aphrodite which is why she is sometimes referred to as the oldest of the sisters. They were servants for the God Hades and Persephone in the underworld which they supervised the toture of criminals in the Dungeon of the Damned. Their description was between Medusa (who had snake hair) and a woman, sometimes they were known to look like ghosts. Another description was they had burning breath and poisonous blood that dripped form their eyes.
