Erinyes are a group of primordial goddesses of vengeance in Greek mythology. Their Roman counterpart is called the Dirae.

According to the story, the Furies are older than the Olympians, since they were born from the spilled blood of Uranus.

The term comes from Ancient Greek Ἐρῑνύες (Erinúes), which means 'Avengers'. Colloquially the name used tends to be Furies.
During the 5th century BCE a shipwreck located within the Korinthian Gulf bore the name of one of the Furies: Alekto.
