Thompson names them "Goddesses of vengeance", and the one served page gives them a fitting nativity: they are born of the cosmos's first act of revenge. When Cronus, armed by his grieved mother, mutilates Sky, "from the drops of the flowing blood were born Furies" — named at once: Alecto, Tisiphone, Megaera [The Library (Bibliotheca), BOOK I, ch. I]. That is the whole textual estate: three names and a bloody paternity older than Zeus. Frazer's note files the variant: "Here Apollodorus follows Hesiod", for whom the Furies sprang not from the sea-thrown members but "from the drops of his blood which fell on Earth and impregnated her" [ibid., editor's note]; the same note records that the mutilation story "shocked the moral sense of later ages" [ibid., editor's note]. The office the label asserts — vengeance — is nowhere stated on this page; it is implied by the parentage, spirits condensed from a wronged father's spilt blood. The Furies at work, hounding kin-killers and oath-breakers, are still unwired to any served line: of Thompson's two rows the other (Fox 275) is unserved. Birth certificate on file; job description still in the index.
