The Furies: Women, Vengeance, and Justice by Elizabeth Flock

3.0

I found it hard to get into Flock’s writing style, and it’s not an easy book because these aren’t perfect victims. The Furies were so feared in Ancient Greek culture that they euphemistically labelled them the kindly ones as a way to placate them, but these three women were impotent fury at best. It’s hard to feel good about any of these stories because not one of them has a remotely happy end.

Is it important to see and bear witness anyway? Yes, I think so. But it still sucks.
