Lamia was a beautiful Greek woman beloved of Zeus. As is rather typical in Geek mythology, the blameless mortal was the focus of the ire of a jealous deity. In this case Hera, rather than admonishing the philandering Zeus, destroyed Lamia's children and afflicted her with sleeplessness so she would anguish constantly. Eventually the torment disfigured her and she became a serpent-bodied devourer of children. Her name came to be used as a threat to discipline unruly youngsters ... "Behave or Lamia will come and devour you!"

In later traditions and storytelling, Lamia bacame a generic term for a type of phantom that seduced youths to satisfy their sexual appetite,feeding on their flesh afterwards.
