Here is a little information on the furies .... These poems are a work in progress so any mistakes are mine noone else LOL hope this helps you familiarise yourself with them .. When the Titan Cronus castrated his father Uranus and threw his genitalia into the sea, the Erinyes emerged from the drops of blood, while Aphrodite was born from the seafoam. According to a variant account, they issued from an even more primordial level—from Nyx, "Night". Their number is usually left indeterminate. Virgil, probably working from an Alexandrian source, recognized three: Alecto ("unceasing," ), Megaera ("grudging"), and Tisiphone ("avenging murder"). Dante followed Virgil in depicting the same three-charactered triptych of Erinyes. The heads of the Erinyes were wreathed with serpents (compare Gorgon) and their eyes dripped with blood, rendering their appearance rather horrific. Sometimes they had the wings of a bat or bird and the body of a dog. (All this information comes from wiki just wanted to give you an idea of where they came from ) I wont give you anymore information dont want to spoil my next couple of scribbles and i have taken poetic license and changed a few things in the myth ... Though if you interested look them up they are interesting ummm whatever they are hope that helps In Love and Light JayC x
