Explanation

Harpies are mythical creatures in Greek mythology that are often depicted with women's faces and vulture bodies. These creatures are winged and have the upper body of a woman but the lower body of a bird of prey, usually that of a vulture. In Greek mythology, Harpies were considered storm spirits associated with sudden, sharp gusts of wind. They were often portrayed as menacing and swift, and in some stories, they were sent by the gods to punish individuals or carry out divine tasks. The imagery of Harpies has been a recurring theme in art, literature, and mythology throughout history.
