Tisiphone (, "Avenger of murder"), or Tilphousia, is one of the three Erinyes or Furies in Greek mythology. Her sisters are Alecto and Megaera. They reside in the Greek underworld and ascend to earth in pursuit of the wicked. She and her sisters punish crimes of murder: parricide, fratricide and homicide.
