AI overview

The Erinyes were vengeful spirits in ancient Greek mythology, depicted as supernatural beings who pursued and punished those guilty of serious crimes, particularly murder within families. They appear prominently in Greek dramatic works like Aeschylus's *Oresteia*, where they play a crucial role in the story's exploration of justice, guilt, and the transition from divine vengeance to human law.
