Mythical Creature of the Week – Lamia


There are many kinds of mythical sexual predators among our world, the Lamia is more. She belongs among the Greek mythology and is a female demon who seduces sleeping men and devour children. There are many descriptions of her, all of which include her having a beautiful upper body. One story states that she was loved by Zeus, which earned her the vengeance of the jealous Hera, Zeus’s wife. Hera supposedly kidnapped her and murdered her children in revenge for the affair. This drove Lamia mad and into a cave, where her rage transformed her into a hideous monster who snatched children and sucked their blood.
