In Greek Mythology, the Furies were spirits of punishment, often represented as three goddesses who executed the curses pronounced upon criminals, tortured the guilty with stings of conscience, and inflicted famines and pestilences. The word "furor," as well as "fury" and "furious," comes from the same Latin root, "furere," which means "be mad, rage."
