Not sure if you know, but Neil Gaiman wrote the furies into The Sandman comic, DC/Vertigo comics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sandman:_The_Kindly_Ones

Excellent post. So interesting to learn how you have included The Furies in your writing ✍️… it seems the Eumenides were the version of these wicked goddesses… or at least that happens in some tragedies. (As in Aeschylus’) … fascinating reading. Love and best wishes ❣️

Thank you 🙂 They are quite interesting and I’m sure we don’t know everything about them (yet).

Lots of good information here. It’d be interesting to insert a fury into a modern tale–a bit of magical realism. Righteous comeuppance is a favorite theme of mine.

Such a great post! The furies would make for some seriously dangerous female protagonists. Don’t ever cross them! 🙂 So often they get portrayed more along the lines of the weird sisters from Macbeth, but there is certainly potential for them to be more beautifully dangerous, from the sounds of things. Thanks for sharing!
