I will admit I need work on my baby proportions, but I doodled out some hatchling/nestling harpies/sirens while cooking logs and waiting on my laundry to dry.

The Bestiare of Pierre Beauvais showed harpies as winged lions with human faces in contrast to other bestiaries. This ?1340 version shows a lion-like harpy (and there is no explanation of why there is a head on the ground). #medievalmanuscripts #medievalbeasts #harpy #harpies

Although harpies in modern thought are usually associated with women, many medieval harpies were obviously male like this bearded harpy from a c1350 version of "Der Naturen Bloeme". #medievalmanuscripts #medievalbeasts #harpy #harpies

Medieval harpies were considered to be the personification of storm winds. This murky harpy has a winged dog-like body and is from the Bestiare of Pierre de Beauvais (late 13th century). #medievalmanuscripts #medievalbeasts #harpy #harpies

Our medieval beast this week is the mythical harpy which was described as a fierce bird with a human head. This image is from a 13th century version of "Liber de natura rerum". #medievalmanuscripts #medievalbeasts #harpy #harpies

I wrote a new story today about nonbinary harpies. Was wonderfully cathartic. I call it "Dinner is Served." #AmWriting #nonbinary #harpy #harpies #mythology
