the Furies

The Furies, also known as the Erinyes in Greek mythology, are divine beings who pursue and punish wrongdoers, especially those who commit crimes like murder or family betrayals. They embody the concept of moral justice and seek to ensure guilt is addressed through relentless pursuit and judgment. Often depicted as fierce women with serpents in their hair, the Furies serve as enforcers of divine law, holding individuals accountable for their actions, particularly within the context of familial and moral sins.
