	Harpy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Greek mythology, the Harpies (snatchers) were beautiful winged women best known for constantly stealing all food from Phineas before he could eat any of it, enforcing a punishment declared by Zeus, although at least one mythological tradition has the Harpies defiling the food instead of stealing it.
		The Harpies were sisters of Iris, daughters of Electra and Thaumas.
		In the Middle Ages, the harpy, often called the "virgin eagle", became a popular charge in heraldry, particularly in East Frisia, seen on, among others, the coats-of-arms of Reitburg, Liechtenstein, and the Cirksenas.

		Sample collection sites have been carefully selected to represent the broad neotropical range of the harpy eagle and to include individuals from populations on opposite sides of potential barriers to gene flow for both species.
