[00:00:00]Did you know that in Greek mythology, there were three goddesses whose only job was to drive murderers completely insane? They were called the Furies, and they were absolutely terrifying. Picture this: bat wings, dog heads, and whips made of living snakes. These weren't your typical pretty goddesses. They were nightmare fuel with a divine purpose.

[00:00:21]The Furies had one rule: if you killed a family member, they would hunt you down and torture your mind until you went completely mad. Their most famous victim was a prince named Orestes. He killed his own mother to avenge his father's murder. The moment he did it, the Furies appeared. They followed him everywhere, whispering in his ears, filling his dreams with horror, making him see things that weren't there. They never let him sleep, never let him rest, never let him forget what he'd done. This was Greek justice, not a quick death or a fair trial, just endless psychological torture that could last for years.

[00:00:58]Because in Greek mythology, family violence created a curse that passed from generation to generation, and the gods made sure that trauma never ever ended.
