The word harpy is known in Roman and Greek mythology as female monsters. They had human faces and the body of a bird. The word itself means "snatchers".
This creature could be inspired by the legend of the harpy, a winged creature from Greek mythology with the body of a bird and the head of a woman.

A harpy was a rapacious monster in Greek and Roman mythology which had the head and body of a woman and wings and talons, or was a bird of prey with a woman's face.Nice!It is actually unknown. A *Harpy* is a wierd greek and roman creature, yes, but a half-woman half-eagle is not a Harpy. Or at least not the Greek and Roman Harpy. There is another spelling of Harpy. It is: *Harpie*This is most likely the most logical answer for the question. Since it is not actually a defined word (Harpy= greek and roman), we can create or mold this word into a new definition :D*Harpie*: A half-female half-bird creature. Can be any type of bird, but most common is an eagle. Any other type of bird mix is extremely rare. Human female body, except for the wings, elf like ears, black eyes, claws, eagle like feet (claw in the heel, 2 "toe like" things with claws), and fangs. There is a very close picture of this Harpie or half-eagle half-woman. It is at...Ricillustrations.com.The picture is called "Tug-A-War"It is in the "Graphites" section.
Part woman more than half bird. And they are not nice creatures.
its a lady half bird with alot of wings read the Percy Jackson series
Scylla's symbol was a sea monster with multiple heads and tentacles. It was often depicted in ancient Greek art and mythology as a fearsome creature that terrorized sailors passing through her waters.
This symbol has been adopted for her in the modern age; it has no ancient connection with her Greek mythology.At best guess, the wolf is a creature both protected and wild, thus now appointed a symbol of Artemis.
