Tisiphone is one of the three Greek Erinyes – sister of Alecto and Megaera – better known by some as the Furies in the Roman Pantheon of Gods.
She is known as The Avenger of the Erinyes. Her role is to punish the perpetrators of the most heinous of crimes; those of patricide, fratricide and homicide.
The Erinyes were depicted as fearsome goddesses clothed in black with serpent-entwined hair and arms.
