Greek goddesses of vengeance. They are said to have been born from the earth that was dripping with blood when Cronus cut off the genitals of Uranus. They are usually identified as Alecto, Tisiphone, and Megaera. They have wings, snakes for hair, and use torches to chase sinners and drive them mad. They are also called Eumenides and Semnae as bringers of fertility. They live in the underworld, Tartarus, and in Rome they are called Phliai or Dilai.
