A Beautiful Queen of Libya

Another Herbert Draper painting, called Lamia. In ancient Greek mythology, Lamia (Greek: Λάμια) was a beautiful queen of Libya who became a child-eating daemon. . . and oh yes, that IS a snakeskin she's wearing around her waist.

Oookay then, yeah, well, that's the lesson for today kids.

And below a study for Lamia.
