Mythic figures from Greece need muse, I suspect (9)

I believe the answer is:

eumenides

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'mythic figures from greece' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'need muse i suspect' is the wordplay.
'suspect' is an anagram indicator (a suspicious or unusual spelling).
'need'+'muse'+'i'='needmusei'
'needmusei' anagrammed gives 'EUMENIDES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eumenides that I've seen before include "Vengeful females" , "Females furious" , "The Furies" , "Women who are furious" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
