The Erinyes (Ἐρινύες), the Furies, goddesses of retribution, known as “The Kindly Ones”
(Τισιφόνη), avenger of murder[1]sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Greek_mythological_figures#Chthonic_deities
Tisiphone, or Tilphousia, was one of the Erinyes or Furies, and sister of Alecto and Megaera. She was the one who punished crimes of murder: parricide, fratricide and homicide. In Book VI of Virgil‘s Aeneid, she is described as the guardian of the gates of Tartarus, ‘clothed in a blood-wet dress’.[1] According to one myth, she fell in love with a mortal, Cithaeron, but was spurned; in her anger she formed a poisonous snake from her hair, which bit and killed him.
Between 1779 and 1816 there was a British navy fireship (later converted to a sloop) named after the goddess.[2]
