Tisiphone from Greek mythology was one of the Furies.  She was the one who punished crimes of murder; parricide, fratricide and homicide.  Parricide — the act of killing one’s parents.  Fratricide — the act of killing one’s brother.  Also, along the lines of killing one’s parents. . . patricide is the killing of one’s father and matricide is the killing of one’s mother.

When I picked this pseudonym, I didn’t really know what Tisiphone meant.  Thank God for Wikipedia.  Oddly, the pseudonym very uniquely fits me and my beliefs.  Looking forward to sharing my rantings  with the world.

Cheers,
