Description: (Queen)
In ancient Greek mythology, Lamia was a child-eating monster and night-haunting spirit or "daimon." Originally a beautiful queen of Libya, Lamia's affair with Zeus led to her children being taken from her by Zeus's wife Hera, driving her to insanity and vengeance. Transformed into a monstrous figure, Lamia preyed on children out of despair. As a lamiai, she seduced young men to satisfy her appetite, feeding on their flesh afterward. Lamia's serpentine qualities and role as a bogeyman in Greek folklore added layers to her haunting and malevolent persona.
