The Phonoi

The Phonoi are the male spirits of killing, murder and slaughter off of the battlefield, while their sisters the Androctasiae were the spirits of slaughter on the battlefield. Occasionally though no distinction is drawn between them. They are the sons of Eris (discord).Aeschylus' Libation Bearers it is said that they can breed more reprisal, or continuation, of murder. And in his Seven Against Thebes murders are said to be their servants, and they are described as being "ghastly-faced" in Fall of Troy.
