Just Discovered!

I was just editing the blog when all of a sudden I wanted to know what does Harpy really mean?
For me its just a name I created for my first diary when I was in the seventh grade,but the world is huge and everything and anything has a meaning so I opened google and wrote 'Harpy' and clicked on the first link 'Wikipedia'; What I discovered is that :
[ In Greek mythology, a harpy ("snatcher", from Latin: harpeia, originating in Greek: ἅρπυια, harpūia) was one of the winged spirits best known for constantly stealing all food from Phineus. ]
Here's a picture of a Harpy:
Mythology: Greek
Grouping: Legendary creature
Sub-grouping: Hybrid

A medieval depiction of a harpy as a bird-woman.
