The Dence Woods(The Wood of the Self-Murderers: The Harpies and the Suicides)

















The Wood of the Self-Murderers:

The Dense Woods(Kimajo)

Harpies remained vivid in the Middle Ages.

In his Inferno, XIII, Dante envisages the tortured wood infested with harpies, where the suicides have their punishment in the seventh ring of Hell:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harpy Here the repellent harpies make their nests, Who drove the Trojans from the Strophades
With dire announcements of the coming woe.
They have broad wings, a human neck and face, Clawed feet and swollen, feathered bellies; they caw
Their lamentations in the eerie trees.[6]

William Blake was inspired by Dante's description in his pencil, ink and watercolour "The Wood of the Self-Murderers: The Harpies and the Suicides" (Tate Gallery, London)



Harpy three sister?

Toriningen(Harpy)

In Greek mythology, a harpy (Greek: ἅρπυια, harpyia, pronounced [hárpuja]; Latin: harpeia) was one of the winged spirits best known for constantly stealing all food from Phineus. The literal meaning of the word seems to be "that which snatches" as it comes from the Greek word harpazein (ἁρπάζειν), which means "to snatch".
