Tisiphone

Meaning

Tisiphone is named individually with the Erinyes at LXIX.2. The name belongs to the hymn's direct invocation of the group and makes one member separately retrievable. An explanation derived solely from the name's components would not replace the surrounding account of their punitive force.
