Harpy, in Greek and Roman mythology, was a frightful monster that was fifty percent lady and 50 percent bird. Harpy comes from a Greek word that means to snatch. Harpies stole food from their victims and left a dreadful smell behind them. They tormented the blind king Phineus right until the sons from the north wind, who have been traveling along with the Argonauts, drove the Harpies away. Phineus then told the Argonauts easy methods to pass through the Clashing Rocks. In accordance to vigil, Aeneas also met the Harpies in his wanderings.
