The terrifying Lamia from Edward Topsell's 'The History of Foure-Footed Beasts' 1607. My later colouring. A scaly quadruped with the hind legs of a goat,fore legs of a bear and the chest and head of a woman. Topsell states that when a lamia sees a man they 'lay open their breastes,and by the beauty thereof,entice them to come neare to conference,and so having them within their compasse,they devoure and kill them' | |
