Born from primordial night, the Furies—Alecto, Tisiphone, and Megaera—were vengeance personified. Tasked with punishing crimes like murder, oathbreaking, and filial impiety, they haunted the guilty with nightmares and madness. Their bloodshot eyes pierced souls, their serpentine locks whipped with rage, and their screams chilled the air. No plea for mercy could appease them, and no hiding place could escape their wrath. Only justice, often brutal and irrevocable, could calm their fury and offer the tormented a semblance of peace.
