In Sophocles's play, Oedipus at Colonus, Oedipus is not tortured by the Erinyes.

He is led to the village of Colonus by Antigone, his daughter. A villager demands that they leave because that ground is sacred to the Erinyes. Oedipus recognised this as a sign of a prophecy which revealed that he would die at a place sacred to the Erynyes, and be a blessing for the land in which he is buried. He realises that the time for his death has come and accepts it.
