The figure often associated with vengeance and justice in mythology is the Furies in Greek myth. They are also known as the Erinyes and are depicted as chthonic deities who pursue wrongdoers. In Roman mythology, a similar role is played by the Furiae. These figures enforce divine retribution against offenders, often punishing those who commit crimes like murder or perjury. Their presence emphasizes the importance of accountability and the consequences of one's actions.
