A friend once decided I needed a Domme name. Definately in her hopes that I would Domme her LOL! Anyway, I came across this and fell in love: Cronos the Titan revolted against the first ruler of the universe, his father Uranus, and waiting for him in an ambush took a long sickle with jagged teeth, cut off Uranus' genitals, and cast them away to fall behind him. The bloody drops that gushed forth were received by the Earth (Gaia), and in time she bore the ERINYES. Megaera (the jealous one), the grudging or unwilling, is one of the three Erinyes or Furies. The Erinyes are the three goddesses of revenge, they punished those who escaped or defied public justice. They were considered protectors of the supplicant. The other two sisters are Alecto, the unceasing, and Tisiphone, the avenging. The three are women with fiery eyes, dogs' heads, and their head are wreathed with serpents. Their whole appearance is terrific and appalling. The sisters are sometimes called the daughters of night and are brought about by murder, perjury, ingratitude, disrespect, harshness, and the laws of hospitality. Megaera, Alecto, and Tisiphone are impartial and impersonal and they pursue wrongdoers until they sinners are driven mad and die. Well how can one resist a name like that?? Megaera was chosen of the three for its unique spelling, the fact that she's stubborn, and that the name can be abbreviated so easily. I've had the name for years and years now. LM
