Topic: Furies


In the News (Sun 12 Oct 08)

  
  MYTH MAN'S FURIES PAGE
There were usually said to be three Furies (note: At Athens there were statues of only two), called Alecto, Tisiphone and Megaera, but quite often they were depicted as a large flock of flying creatures, with the three named members leading the avenging pack.
Eventually their influence extended to the hearing of complaints of insolence by the young toward the old; punishing disrespect of parents by their children; as well as lack of hospitality to guests by their hosts, a terrific breach of ancient etiquette.
In short, if you messed up, the wicked fury of the Erinnyes was not far...There were many who incurred the wrath of the Furies, with catastrophic results.

The Christian rock group Chasing Furies is a family affair.

 Spielberg, Munich and the classic Greek Furies   (Site not responding. Last check: )
While the Roman poet Virgil painted the Furies as the punishers of souls in the underworld (hell), Greek myths claimed the Furies operated in the living world to hunt down villains while still living, refusing to wait for death to provide such evil doers with eternal damnation.
The Furies were often called upon to punish one side or the other for what were considered inhuman acts beyond the scope of violence expected in war.
And she even goes beyond this, decreeing that the Furies are to become the guardians of such supplicants, defenders of those souls who are truly repentant.

In ancient times the Furies were completely female as they bore the brunt of the world's injustice, and were allowed no acceptable actions to release their frustration.

In the meantime, Xena has realised for herself that doing the Furies bidding is no way out, and has decided that is it she who must die on the grounds that she is deeply dangerous to innocent people in her insane state of mind.

The Furies are somewhat taken back by this and Xena proceeds to require Gabrielle to relate the tales that Ares takes on the form of absent warriors and visits their wives for sex.

 New Left Review - Tom Nairn: The New Furies
In Graeco-Roman mythology the Furies were the three deadly sisters born from the blood of God falling back to the earth (after he suffered castration by Kronos).
It is what turned nationalism into the ‘Furies’, the global rough music that Ali analyses and rightly reproaches: that is, the exaggerated version of a former self, driven to wilder shores by the equally exaggerated (but armed) onslaught of a globalism that, after 2001, resorted to post-colonial colonialism.
The Furies are at last in retreat—like the fanatical globalism and ‘crucifixion economics’ that gave them their opportunity for re-entry.

The Furies were unrelenting in their pursuit of criminals, punishing all crimes to society and often striking the offenders with madness.
So dreadful were the Furies in appearance and deed that people would not speak their real name, the "Erinyes," but rather referred to them as the "Eumenides," just as timid English souls referred to the Fairies as "the Good Folk" for fear that naming their real name would make them angry.
They were implacable and indefatigable in their furious ("of the Furies") pursuit of their quarry.

But while A Dozen Furies are grateful to Ozzy and Sharon for all the attention they received in Battle, they consider the experience a mixed blessing that yielded as many disappointments and aggravations as triumphs.
Perhaps worst of all, while many suddenly knew who A Dozen Furies were, there were a large number of naysayers that hated them just for being a part of a popular reality show.
