Lamy
The lamies are demon S or spectrum S having the head of a woman and the body of a dragon or a snake, in the Greek antiquity.
They haunt the deserts.
Their name comes from the queen of Libya, Lamia, which split the belly of the expectant mothers to nourish Embryon S. It acted of the kind because Junon, jealous until it waits a child of Jupiter, had made it fall through.
It is also said that they were fond of delicacies blood of the small children, that they sucked until making them die.
Martín Antonio Delrío quotes two spectra or Lamies, the named first Gello, which wandered in the island of Lesbos, removed the children who had just been born to devour them. Gilo, the second, had the same practices. Nicéphore ensures that it removed one day the small Maurice (become emperor thereafter); but it could not eat it, because it carried amulets.

Often identified with Empousa (demon, girl of Hécate which nourished flesh of human), Lamia was the girl of king Bélos. Linked in Zeus, it gave rise to several children that Héra killed all by jealousy. To be avenged, Lamia took the appearance of a monster which attacked the children. Héra then deprived it of sleep; by compensation, Zeus granted the capacity to him to remove and give its eyes at will.
