!!Literature
->''Here the brute Harpies make their nest, the same\\
Who from the Strophades the Trojan band\\
Drove with dire boding of their future woe.\\
Broad are their pennons, of the human form\\
Their neck and count'nance, arm'd with talons keen\\
The feet, and the huge belly fledge with wings\\
These sit and wail on the drear mystic wood.''
-->--''Literature/TheDivineComedy, Inferno, Canto XIII''

!!Tabletop Games
->"I've heard tales o' their entrancing beauty. Sure'n what sailor has not? They dance among the winds ranging o'er strange isles that appear on no map, their beautiful voices calling honest sailors to forsake their shipmates and swim out to join them. Join them they do, I reckon, when they drown or get dashed to pieces on the sharp waiting rocks. Either way, they're meat for the Harpies. When you hear strange sounds at sea lads, stuff yer ears with cotton or wax and heed not the Harpy's song, for there's nothing but death in it for ye."
-->--'''Edgar''', Ship's Mate, ''TabletopGame/WarhammerFantasyRoleplay: Old World Bestiary -- A Compendium of Creatures Fair and Foul''

->"They are gorgeous, are they not? I suspect that they are indeed the favoured daughters of [[WarGod Khaine]]. For myself, I cannot speak to their connection with the Witch Elves, but I can tell you with certainty that they are not mere beasts. I once saw a flock of Harpies torment a sailor for several hours, savouring his terror and pain before they finally ripped him to pieces in an orgy of blood. A beast cannot delay its pleasures in such fashion."
-->--'''Lakroth Mal''', [[OurElvesAreDifferent Druchii]] Corsair, ''TabletopGame/WarhammerFantasyRoleplay: Old World Bestiary -- A Compendium of Creatures Fair and Foul''
