the three fury of Dante Painting

The Furies Also called Erinyes, they are creatures of the classical myth connected to the dimension of the Underworld: daughters of Acheron and of the Night, they represented the remorse that tormented those who had stained themselves with blood-related crimes. They were three (Megera, Aletto and Tesifone) and appear in various Greek-Latin poems and works, including the Aeneid where Aletto is evoked by Juno to instigate the mortal hatred of Turnus against Aeneas (VII, 323 ff.). Dante introduces them to Canto IX of Hell, among the demons who preside over the city of Dite and vainly oppose the passage of the two poets. The three Furies suddenly appear on the city walls, with female features and serpentine hair, covered with blood and temples girded with snakes and waxes. They rip their breasts with their fingernails and scream so loud as to terrify Dante, to then evoke Medusa in order to petrify the traveler. Virgilio indicates their names to Dante and the disciple defines them mean / of the queen of the eternal cry, or handmaids of Proserpina to whom in the classical myth the Erinyes were often connected
