WIND SPIRIT – In mythology a harpy was a half human, half bird personification of storm winds. She’s said to have originally been a wind spirit and is often depicted with lovely hair. Today there is a real bird, the harpy eagle, named after the mythological creature.
HUNGRY HARPY – Harpies feature in many Greek and Roman tales and poems, often as antagonists who harass travelers on long journeys.
