"Furies: Unleashing the Wrath of Ancient Justice" Step into the realm of ancient Greek mythology as we delve into the world of the Furies, formidable goddesses who embodied vengeance and retribution. From their appearances in literary works such as Orestes & Eumenides to captivating engravings like "Orestas pursued by the Furies, " these mythical beings have left an indelible mark on art and literature throughout history. One notable representation is found in Virgil's epic poem, The Divine Comedy, where Dante encounters them in his journey through Hell. This haunting engraving from 1885 captures their menacing presence as they torment sinners with relentless fury. The Act of Justice on 9-10 Thermidor (27-28 July 1794) also draws inspiration from these vengeful deities. Depicted in an engraving, it symbolizes a pivotal moment during the French Revolution when justice was served against those deemed responsible for tyranny and oppression. Even beyond literature and historical events, artists have been captivated by the power of the Furies. In Jonathan Wild's Funeral Procession etching from c. 1725, we witness how even a notorious thief-taker could not escape their wrath after death. Ancient Greek pottery showcases intricate depictions of these goddesses too; Attic red-figure kraters portray Orestes seeking sanctuary at Apollo's shrine while being pursued by relentless Erinyes. These images serve as a reminder that no act goes unpunished and justice will always find its way. Intriguingly, various theatrical productions have brought this mythological tale to life. "The Story of Orestes" at Princes Hall takes us back to Act III where Clytemnestra's ghost awakens the Furies themselves—a chilling scene captured forever in an engraving. From antiquity to modern interpretations, whether it be oil paintings or black-and-white photographs, the Furies continue to captivate our imagination.
