The Furies were terrible goddesses in Roman mythology. Their names were Alecto, Tisiphone, and Magaera. They had snakes in their hair and they carried whips.

The Furies punished people for the crimes they had committed, especially to anyone who had killed a family member. Oresta had killed his mother Clytemnestra. For this crime, the Furies drove Oresta insane.
