Harpies (in Greek, αρπυια) are creatures from Greek mythology, often depicted as birds of prey with a woman's face and breasts[1]. In Jason's story, the harpies were sent to punish the blind Thracian king Phineus by stealing his food at every meal.[2] The Argonauts Zetes and Calais, sons of Boreas and Orythia, freed Phineus from the harpies, who, in gratitude, showed Jason and the Argonauts the way to pass through the Symplegades[2]. Aeneas and his companions, after the fall of Troy, on their journey towards Italy, stopped at the island of the harpies; they killed animals from their herds, attacked them when they stole their meat, and heard from one of the harpy harpies terrible prophecies concerning the rest of their journey.
