Drawing of Harpies

Greek Mythology brings us the story of the harpy which is depicted in this vintage drawing. A young Greek lad runs from a trio of harpies from snatching his gold and his young goat. These winged creatures with the head a woman with long, flowing hair are the feature of this public domain image from Greek Mythology.

The author of The Mythological Zoo introduced the children of 1912 to a menagerie full of mythological beasts, heroes and villians. All of them were brought to life by the artist Oliver Herford (1863-1935).
