peterdinklages:In Ancient Greek mythology, Lamia (Greek: Λάμια) was a mistress of the god Zeus, causing Zeus’ jealous wife, Hera, to kill all of Lamia’s children and transform her into a monster that hunts and devours the children of others. Some accounts say she has a serpent’s tail below the waist. In later stories, Lamia was cursed with the inability to close her eyes so that she would always obsess over the image of her dead children. [x] -- source link
