Furies or Erinyes, in Greek and Roman religion and mythology, three daughters of Mother Earth, conceived from the blood of Uranus, when Kronos castrated him. They were powerful divinities that personified conscience and punished crimes against kindred blood, especially matricide.

Gdy Kronos poranił swego ojca, Uranosa, wnet wytrysła krew z, której narodziły się trzy boginie zemsty, Erynie.
