the Kindly Ones

The Kindly Ones, also known as the Furies or Erinyes in Greek mythology, are vengeful spirits who punish those who commit serious crimes or moral wrongdoings, especially familial and justice-related offenses. They personify guilt, obsession, and retribution, often pursuing wrongdoers relentlessly to ensure they face justice. In literature and art, they symbolize the inescapable nature of guilt and the consequences of immoral actions. Their name, "Kindly Ones," is ironic, highlighting their dual role as both agents of justice and symbols of relentless punishment.
