| | Erinyes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Many scholars believe that when they were originally referred to as the Eumenides it was not to reference their good sides but as a euphemism to avoid their wrath that would ensue from calling them by their true name. | | | In Greek mythology the Erinyes or Eumenides (the Romans called them the Furies) were female personifications of vengeance. | | | But for the most part they were understood as the persecutors of mortal men and women who broke "natural" laws. |

| | ERINYES, Greek Mythology Link. |
| | The ERINYES are also reported to have tortured Theseus and Pirithous when they descended to the Underworld. | | | But even if otherwise there is nothing specially terrible in their appearance, they were frightening enough to be used in special performances: it is told that when Polyxo 4 decided to kill Helen, she sent against her, when she was bathing, servants dressed up as ERINYES, who seized Helen and hanged her on a tree. | | | So he made a sin-offering to the black goddesses of wrath (ERINYES) to avert them while to the white deities of blessing (EUMENIDES) he made a thank-offering. |

| | The Erinyes will be eternally honored, and in return will become chthonic deities who are favorable to the soil; and who will intervene favorably on the side of the Fates (their sisters) for the sake of harmony and concord. | | | The Furies' hymn: daughters of Night, separate from other immortals, they were given the duty of avenging the murder of blood kin, pursuing them in life and death. | | | The Reform stirred great passions in Athens and Ephialtes was assassinated during that same year. |

| | Furies, Goddesses of Vengeance |
| | Since the Furies are women the religious ceremonies for them must be performed by women. | | | Pausanius (1.28.1) says that the Athenians had a temple to the goddesses which they called August or Venerable but Hesiod calls the Erinyes or Furies. | | | And Here gave them beauty and wisdom beyond the lot of women, and holy Artemis dowered them with stature, and Athene taught them skill in all famous handiwork. |

| | Allowed to keep their original function, the goddesses were thereafter to exercise their calling only at the behest of the Olympian divinities. | | | As the Semnae, they were worshiped as "kindly ones," although they were invariably just rather than gentle; when guilty conspirators sought their forgiveness by attaching themselves by a thread to the goddesses's statue, the Erinyes miraculously broke free, showing the Athenians that criminals deserved punishment. | | | The Erinyes are included in the Goddess Oracle. |
