The Erinyes, or the Furies, Greek goddesses of battle and vengeance.

SEKHMET
lion-headed Egyptian Sun Goddess of wrath and divine justice. For more about her click here.

And this is a rather chilling (?) story of the Hindu Kali Ma, consort of Shiva (the Destroyer aspect of the Hindu trinity). She is often pictured with multiple arms and legs, devouring the bodies of her victims.

A far cry from the sweet little sex-kitten Aphrodite!
Here she is as the Roman Venus. (One of my favourite classical paintings!)

Well, Justice sure has "Her" darker aspects, eh?
