I’m doing some little character designs for my Patreon webcomic side project, and the harpies made me laugh real good

Text: The kingdom by the sea is cruel. A captured mermaid being carried through the castle gates briefly caught the eye of a harpy in a cage above, a glance full of rage and compassion.

The Evermore Grimoire: Greek Mythology

Harpies (Ἁρπθιαι) were the spirits of the wind who were often depicted as winged women, with the lower bodies of birds in Greek mythology. They were known as the ‘Hounds of Zeus’ and were despatched by Zeus (king of the gods) to snatch away people and things from the earth. Sudden and mysterious disappearances were often attributed to these winged women. The Harpies were once sent by Zeus to plague King Phineus of Thrake (Thrace) as punishment for revealing the secrets of the gods. Whenever a plate of food was set before him, they would swoop down and snatch it away, befouling any scraps left behind. When the Argonauts came to visit, the winged Boreades (sons of the god of wind, Boreas) gave chase, and pursued the Harpies to the Strophades Islands, where the goddess Iris (goddess of the rainbow) commanded them to turn back and leave the storm-spirits unharmed.
