I hope someone reads this...
Although Alecto is a goddess, like all the furies she could take on different forms.
Unlike Tisiphone and Megeara who always took on female or sexless shapes, Alecto often appeared as a human male.
Alecto also disguised himself as handsome warrior and snuck into the bed of Thyche, one of Zeus's illegitimate daughters as she slept naked.
She was impregnated and had a daughter, i believe it was Phthia. Alecto also had a child with Thalia, one of the muses.
I dont have that name written down.
But I was wondering the origin of Phthia. I have also seen it spelt Phythia.
But your right Alecto is female, despite how male the name sounds~Silver
