Furys

By Crusader1307

 Ancient Greece and Rome identified Furies as personifications of vengeance. Depicted as hideous females, they had long talons and were often dressed in black. Some variations have Furys with serpents in their hair (as with a Gorgon). Sometimes seen with the wings of bats or birds, they also carried whips (which they would use on their victims. Originally tasked with guarding the Gates to Tartarus, there were also 3 who are featured (and named), in ancient texts. Megara (who represented Jealousy), Tisphone (who was The Avenger) and Alecto (who was The Unresting One). They were harassers (and would not normally kill their prey). The breaking of oaths and murder were but just some of the crimes that they would avenge. Their primary goal was to drive the offender to suicide.
