| So... you will sign a treaty with: the Harpies. |
In Greek mythology, Harpies are the daughters of the sea god Thaumas and the Oceanid Electra, and their number ranges from two to five. They are usually depicted as hideous half-bird, half-woman creatures. Even their names evoke a storm: Aella – "wind," Aellopa – "whirlwind," Podarga – "swift-footed," Okypete – "swift," Kelaino – "dark." Myths speak of Harpies as malicious kidnappers of children and human souls. From the Harpy Podarga and the god of the west wind, Zephyrus, were born the divine, swift-footed horses of Achilles. According to legend, Harpies once lived in the caves of Crete, and later in the realm of the dead. In the painting by François Perier, Aeneas and his companions, leaving the devastated, burning Troy, fend off a flock of enraged Harpies.![]() |
