Tisiphone was the avenger of murder. She
fell in love with Cithaeron whom she killed by having a
snake from her head bite him. The second meaning of the
name Tisiphone is the daughter of the Alcmaeon (one of
the Epigoni) and his wife Manto, she was the sister of
Amphilochus. In an attack of madness, Alcmaeon left his
children behind with Creon of Corinth. Jealous of
Tisiphone's beauty Creon's wife sold her into slavery,
with none of the involved parties realizing at first that
the buyer was Tisiphonešs father. When Alcmaeon later
returned to Corinth to reclaim his children, he
recognized his daughter and also got his son back |
