In both Ancient Greek and Latin literature we can find three types of anger. Even if they can seem similar they differ from each other mostly for what causes them; whereas in latin these three angers are connected and are the source of one another, in greek they are separated and are caused by different things.
Lets see them:
μῆνις (mênis): wrath, anger that lasts. The same anger Achilles feels in the opening of the Iliad.
ὀργή (orgē): fury, caused voluntary; thanks to drugs and alcohol the use of reason is lost. Characteristic of bacchantes (maenad): in their Dionysian rituals they assumed narcotic substances. From this word also comes the word "orgy".
χόλος (chòlos): momentary anger. From this word comes the word "colon".
Seneca recognise three stages that lead to anger:
rabies: momentary anger. (My sibling eats the last slice of pizza, my slice of pizza, I'm angry because of that, but after some time I'm not angry anymore)
ira: anger that lasts. (I'm still angry with my sibling for eating my slice of pizza, I will make 'em pay for what they did)
furor: loss of reason, caused by lack of control (I'm too angry, I can’t control my self, how my sibling dared to eat my pizza?!? I k!ll them for what they did)
They form from the deponent verb irascor.
(no sibling has been hurt in the making of this post)

People are rivers, always ready to move from one state of being into another. It is not fair, to treat people as if they are finished beings. Everyone is always becoming and unbecoming.
