The Furies - Goddesses of Vengeance
The gods of Ancient Greece weren’t just worshiped, they were feared, loved, envied, and blamed. From the stormy heights of Mount Olympus, they toyed with mortals, changed destinies, and waged wars of passion and pride.
But few were as terrifying, or as relentless, as the Furies.
Born of blood and vengeance, these goddesses weren’t interested in prayers. They hunted the guilty, haunted the wicked, and exacted divine retribution with ruthless precision.
In this episode, Keith dives deep into the shadowy realm of the Furies—who they were, where they came from, and what they still represent in our world today. Along the way, he asks: Was Apollo truly a misogynist? And if so… what does that say about the gods we still carry with us?
Vengeance, justice, and divine rage—this isn’t mythology. This is power.
