Detailed explanation-2: -In Greek and Roman mythology, a harpy (plural harpies, Ancient Greek: , romanized: hárpyia, pronounced [hárpyːa]; Latin: harpȳia) is a half-human and half-bird personification of storm winds. They feature in Homeric poems.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Harpy Eagle (Harpia harpyja) is considered one of the most powerful and largest raptors globally.
