hold your breath, my dear.
I'm Kaity. I'm a kinda-small freshie. I like Asking Alexandria, longboarding, coffee, Alesana, beanies, guys' shirts, Sleeping With Sirens, Vans, and Of Mice & Men. I draw a lot. I'm severely addicted to Pokemon. Gengar is my favorite. I sleep with a teddy bear. His name is Almond. Oh yes.

HARPY
[noun]
Greek mythology: a harpy (“snatcher”, from Latin: harpeia, originating in Greek: ἅρπυια, harpūia) was one of the winged spirits best known for constantly stealing all food from Phineus. The literal meaning of the word seems to be “that which snatches” as it comes from the ancient Greek word harpazein (ἁρπάζειν), which means “to snatch”.
Hesiod calls them two “lovely-haired” creatures, and pottery art depicting the harpies featured beautiful women with wings. Harpies as ugly winged bird-women, e.g. in Aeschylus’ The Eumenides (line 50) are a late development, due to a confusion with the Sirens. Roman and Byzantine writers detailed their ugliness.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4jvvhekEY1r47bczo1_250.jpg)
