Lamia by Maris Anguis
Lamia in Ancient Greek Mythology, was a child-eating monster and, in later
tradition, was regarded as a type of night-haunting spirit or “demon".
In the earliest stories, Lamia was a beautiful queen of ancient Libya who had an affair with Zeus. Upon learning this, Zeus's wife Hera robbed Lamia of her
children, the offspring of her affair with Zeus. The loss of her children drove Lamia insane and, in vengeance and despair, Lamia snatched up any child she could find and devoured them. Because of her cruel acts, her physical appearance changed and she grew to become ugly and monstrous.
Zeus gave Lamia the power of prophecy, as wells as the ability to take out and reinsert her own eyes. This was possibly because she had been cursed by Hera with insomnia or because she could no longer close her eyes, forcing her to always obsess over her lost children.
