Erinys; used in the singular to denote an avenging goddess; some translators refer to her as Strife.
Hesiod said that there were two types of Erinys; one was harsh and warlike and could be invoked at the will of the Immortals and the compulsion of mortal men; the other Erinys was the elder daughter of Nyx (Night) and placed under the earth by Zeus to cause men to compete against one another and thus better themselves and their crafts.
