Eumenides

The Eumenides, also known as the Furies, are mythological deities from Greek mythology who embody vengeance and retribution. They are often depicted as fierce, serpent-haired women who pursue wrongdoers, particularly those who commit crimes like murder. In the plays of Aeschylus, they serve as agents of justice, demanding blood justice and maintaining moral order. Over time, their role transforms from relentless pursuers to protectors of justice and charity, symbolizing the transition from personal revenge to lawful justice. The Eumenides represent the human need for moral balance and accountability within society.
