There is a myth about Lamia that interested me. In this
one she is the daughter of Belus and Libya. Libya won Zeus’ heart and Hera
became jealous of the unicorn and retaliated by killing all her children
fathered by Zeus. In anger and frustration Lamia went into a cave and unleashed
her anger by killing offspring of human mothers by sucking the children’s
blood. Her actions turned her beauty into ugliness, but when she seduced men
she briefly regained her beauty.
