They were called forth from the underworld to inflict suffering and madness upon the evil-doer, to bring drought and famine to nations, and punish the souls of the damned in Hades. He was described with blue-black skin and was possibly imagined with a vulture's head.

She was the wife of the River-God Acheron. He received his dark domain when the three sons of Cronus drew lots for the division of the universe.

He issued forth from the underworld with his mother Nyx the Night. They presided over the battlefield carnage, driving the weapons of death and tearing free the souls from the dying.

They may have guided the spirits of the blessed dead initiates of the Eleusinian Mysteries to their final resting place in Elysium.
