These female-seeming devils named after the Furies of mythology
attack hand to hand and poison their unwary victims as well.
Holy and pure, from Zeus Khthonios born
and Persephone, whom lovely locks adorn:
Whose piercing sight, with vision unconfin'd,
surveys the deeds of all the impious kind:
On Fate attendant, punishing the race
(with wrath severe) of deeds unjust and base.
Dark-colour'd queens, whose glittering eyes are bright
with dreadful, radiant, life-destroying, light:
Eternal rulers, terrible and strong,
to whom revenge, and tortures dire belong.
[ LXIX. To the Furies, The Orphic Hymns,
translated by Thomas Taylor ]
ettin
The two-headed giant, or ettin, is a vicious and unpredictable
hunter that stalks by night and eats any meat it can catch.
