Galaxy/The codex of Tisiphone (Erinyes)

Apollodorus names Tisiphone among the Furies who rose when the bloody drops of flowing blood from the castrated Uranus fell upon Gaia. Hyginus's preface lists the same three sisters — Alecto, Megaera and Tisiphone — as children of Aether and Terra, a rival genealogy kept on topic `erinyes-parentage`. The collective node `erinyes` holds their shared office; this node is the individual named in both rolls.2
