FURIES the three avenging goddesses of Roman mythology, who make humans see their guilt. They tried to grow negative feelings, such as hatred, discord and rage: Alecto (the one who does not rest, chased them to death of madness), Tisífone (avenger of murders, punisher of those of bad behavior) and Megera (the jealous, creator of hatred and discord). They are described in art as severe maidens with snake hair and wings, bloodshot eyes, wearing black robes and a blood red ribbon and carrying a whip, torch or sickle.
