Erinyes are a group of primordial goddesses of vengeance in Greek mythology. Their Roman counterpart were called the Dirae.
Legacy
Demeter, the Greek goddess of agriculture and fertility, once assumed the guise of a Fury due to the god Poseidon's actions. This event was memorized as a monument on top of a hill in the Forest of Soron in Arkadia.[1]
During the 5th century BCE, a shipwreck located within the Korinthian Gulf bore the name of one of the Furies: Alekto.[2] The Erinyes were also used to explain The Octopus, a member of the Gods of the Aegean Sea branch of the Cult of Kosmos; according to a tale, she was a captain whom the Erinyes slew, after which she was resurrected in her new form.[3]
In time, the term 'fury' came to denote a person, especially a woman, who was mad with anger.[4][5][6]
Behind the scenes
The term comes from Ancient Greek Ἐρῑνύες (Erinúes), which means 'Avengers'. Colloquially, the name used tends to be Furies. According to the myths, the Furies are older than the Olympians, since they were born from the spilled blood of Uranus.[7]
