Hey dear Hive Community, first of all I would like to wish you all a pleasant day and hope you were able to have one or the other positive experience! In this post, I would like to talk about mythology and hope you can learn something new.
Here are pictures that I created with artificial intelligence and represent the harpies from Greek mythology, which are also known as female hybrid creatures. Harpies are usually depicted as women with wings that had the ability to fly extremely fast and they also live in caves after being banished on the island of Crete. The representations are usually very different and they were considered friendly in some legends and extremely unfriendly in others and they were also known as helpers of Zeus and he sometimes sent them to bring the souls to the underworld, which is also known as Tartaros. They were also considered immortal beings and were very feared by some people and called demonic beings and as their parents, the Oceanids Elektra and the Titan thaumas were known and there are a total of five of them. The goddess of the rainbow Iris was known as Sister Harpies and they also appear in the legend around the Argonauts and the best-known traditions of them can be traced to the Greek writers Homer and Hesiod and also in ancient Rome these hybrid creature was taken over to roman mythology and mentioned by the writer Virgil and also in art they are often depicted and appear in numerous different works.
