GREEK MYTHOLOGY - The Furies - Goddesses of Vengeance and Retribution

GREEK MYTHOLOGY - The Furies - Goddesses of Vengeance and Retribution
This video delves into the roles and attributes of the Furies in Greek Mythology.
The tale told by Hera and the Furies themselves, they explain what they do in the world, and how they act on behalf of the gods in mortal matters...
Living Mythology is an attempt to entertain, relax and educate all in the one place. We are trying to forge narratives so that people can experience the religions and mythologies of the world as they were meant to be. Not as dry academic monoliths, but as living breathing tales and parables as experienced by the peoples who worshipped these beings, in an attempt to make sense of their own lives and the world around them.
This channel is in its infancy, so we hope to improve and develop it as we gain more experience.
All of the tales are taken from very conflicting traditions across many centuries, so there will be many a moment when decisions need to be made to create a more cohesive narrative. If we present something that seems to be in contrast to details, rest assured we have researched many forms of the traditions and come to the conclusions we have done to form the videos.
There will NEVER be total agreement on any of these narratives due to the history and differing ways they developed over the centuries.
These videos are for entertainment and an easy gateway to the subject. If you wish more academic details then please direct your attention to the wide source material and others who perform those types of academic video essays.

The narration is so realistic. Love how you bring the Furies to life.

Love how you bring life into the stores. Can’t get enough! Thank you!

The story telling talent you two possess is positively occult. Every story is better than the last. You two continue to raise the bar and delight.

Yay! I was not expecting a Living Mythology video today - it is a wonderful surprise! Also, educational - I did not know the Furies showed mercy when properly appeased. Thank you once again for a fantastic video 😀

[@leeannproctor47]

Going back and forth in their appearances was very brilliant.

[@coreylugauer2369]

Wow! This one was actually really creepy, and I mean that in a good way! It would be interesting if there was a story of the Furies exacting vengeance against the Olympians, for their crimes are numerous. Can't wait to see the next story.

[@leeannproctor47]

They have a purpose not just another mindless bloodlusty monsters.

[@Kilkennyspurs]

Thank you as ever for this tale of the Furies, not ladies you wanna be on the wrong side of. As ever greetings from Kilkenny.

This Chanel herself is one of the ancient gods, and as they were worshiped, the art hidden here can also be worshiped with an ancient name.....

I like that hera isn't the stereotype bitchy wife that she's usually portrayed as.

Fear the Winged Eumenides of Vengeance and Retribution.. Fear that no misdeed or broken oath will go unpunished.. Fear you never lay eyes on these maidens of wrath and justice for there is only one outcome.. Death and Damnation.

It’s always fascinating to learn about the different residents of the underworld. The court of Hades is actually more just and structured than most people think I wonder when we will hear from the infernal judges next?!?!🤞🤞 Minos, Rhadamanthus and Icus. The three royal sons of Zeus whom even after death would have an eternal service to carry out in the name of god Hades and the kingdom of the dead I hope this video comes next!!!

"...they will come to be remorseful and even then, we will not stop"

[@alberich3963]

Description of Tisiphone in Statius' Thebaid:( This is a big girl ) So prayed he, and the cruel goddess turned her grim visage to hearken. By chance she sat beside dismal Cocytus, and had loosed the snakes from her head and suffered them to lap the sulphurous waters. Straightway, faster than fire of Jove or falling stars she leapt up from the gloomy bank: the crowd of phantoms gives way before her, fearing to meet their queen; then, journeying through the shadows and the fields dark with trooping ghosts, she hastens to the gate of Taenarus, whose threshold none may cross and again return. Day felt her presence, Night interposed her pitchy cloud and startled his shining steeds; far off towering Atlas shuddered and shifted the weight of heaven upon his trembling shoulders. Forthwith rising aloft from Malea’s vale she hies her on the well-known way to Thebes: for on no errand is she swifter to go and to return, not kindred Tartarus itself pleases her so well. A hundred horned snakes erect shaded her face, the thronging terror of her awful head; deep within her sunken eyes there glows a light of iron hue, as when Atracian spells make travailing Phoebe redden through the clouds; suffused with venom, her skin distends and swells with corruption; a fiery vapour issues from her evil mouth, bringing upon mankind thirst unquenchable and sickness and famine and universal death. From her shoulders falls a stark and grisly robe, whose dark fastenings meet upon her breast: Atropos and Proserpine herself fashion her this garb anew. Then both her hands are shaken in wrath, the one gleaming with a funeral torch, the other lashing the air with a live water-snake.[24]

fun fact, they are daugthers of Pluto( Hades ) in roman sources, and Tisiphone almost call Megaera Dad´s girl in book 11 of the Thebaid Her fell sister receives her, and clasps her hand and speaks: “Thus far, my sister, have I been able to sustain our Stygian father’s(Hades) dread commands and the frenzy laid upon me, alone upon the earth and exposed to a hostile world, while ye in Elysium constrain the unresisting ghosts. No mean reward is mine for my pains, my labours are not vain: this deep-drenched battle-field, these waters that reek with blood, the countless swarms that gladden Lethe’s bank -
