Description

LAMIA A Libyan Snake Goddess In Greek mythology, Lamia was a beautiful woman who, like so many other beautiful Greek women, had a liason with Zeus and bore a number of his children. Zeus' wife, Hera, was jealous, and she kidnapped all the children to keep them out of their mother's arms. Mad with grief, Lamia began to entice mortal children to serve as her substitute children. However, her deceitful actions caused her to transform into a monster with the head and breasts of a woman and the body of a giant serpent, and rather than treating the children as her own children, she began to treat them as her own supper, devouring them with gusto. In time, Lamia was able to reproduce, giving life to creatures like herself called Laminae. The Laminae were lustful she-demons and had the power to seduce men and suck out their life force. The Greek name Laminae means either "lecherous vaginas" or "gluttonous gullets." * * * Mornin' All *S* Hope everyone is having a great Saturday so far ! And dear Tara, since you loved the first round, here's more inanities...hope yall get a titter r two :o) The dead batteries were given out free of charge. Thieves who steal corn from a garden could be charged with stalking. To write with a broken pencil is pointless. ~ Love & Hugs ~ * Mina * Photo Credtis: stock xchng Brush Credits: http://brushes.500ml.org www.prettybrush.deviantart.com www.inobscuro.com

Your goddess looks too lovely to be a baddie, she has a very smoldering look. The effects you have used tie in with your story so well. I love the little inanities too, nice for a chuckle.
