Harpies were monstrous creatures, half woman and half bird, with claws on their hands and feet, who loved to torment humans . They were also called stormbirds because they dove out of the sky like lightning bolts and robbed everything with them like a storm blow. The remains were defiled with their feces.
Zeus, the supreme god, called them his hounds. He sometimes sent them to humans he wanted to punish for their disobedience
