“Lamia is an ancient demonic creature originating from Greek mythology. According to legend, this daemon was once a beautiful queen who ruled over Libya. Zeus, king of Olympus, was so intoxicated by her beauty that he took her as one of his many consorts. This caused his wife Hera to become jealous and, in her rage, she kills Lamia’s children and transforms Lamia herself into a monster who is cursed to feed on the blood of children.” (Source: https://monster.fandom.com/wiki/Lamia#:~:text=Another%20common%20interpretation%20of%20Lamia,popularized%20in%20modern%20fantasy%20media. )
