	Harpies - LoveToKnow 1911
		Having been deprived of his sight by the gods for his ill-treatment of his sons by his first wife (or for having revealed the future to mortals), he was condemned to be tormented by two Harpies, who carried off whatever food was placed before him.
		On the arrival of the Argonauts, Phineus promised to give them particulars of the course they should pursue and of the dangers that lay before them, if they would deliver him from his tormentors.
		Accordingly, when the Harpies appeared as usual to carry off the food from Phineus's table, they were driven off and pursued by Calais and Zetes, the sons of Boreas, as far as the Strophades islands in the Aegean.

	Phineus Painter (Getty Museum)
		In the late 500s B.C., the Phineus Painter decorated pottery in a style that scholars call "Chalkidian." In the mid-500s B.C., a Greek vase-painter, probably from Chalkis on the island of Euboea, established a pottery workshop somewhere in Italy, either in one of the Greek colonies in the south or perhaps in Etruria.
		The Phineus Painter produced a variety of shapes including hydriai and amphorae, but the characteristic output of his workshop was a cup with a characteristically tall, angular foot, and eye decoration on the exterior.
		As with most ancient artists, the real name of the Phineus Painter is unknown, and he is identified only by the stylistic traits of his work.

		When the food for Phineus was laid out on a table, the Harpies immediately came, and were attacked by the Boreades, Zetes and Calais, who were among the Argonauts, and provided with wings.
		Now it happened to be a decree of fate that the Harpyiai should die at the hands of the sons of Boreas, and also that the sons should meet their end whenever they failed to catch the object of their chase.
		And Phineus had scarcely taken the first morsel up when, with as little warning as a whirlwind or a lightning flash, they dropped from the clouds proclaiming their desire for food with raucous cries.

		Some say he was a son of Agenor, but others that he was a son of Poseidon, and he is variously alleged to have been blinded by the gods for foretelling men the future...or by Poseidon, because he revealed to the children of Phrixus how they could sail from Colchis to Greece.
		These were winged female creatures, and when a table was laid for Phineus, they flew down from the sky and snatched up most of the food, and what little they left stank so that nobody could touch it.
		But the other [Harpy], named Ocypete or, according to others, Ocythoe (but Hesiod calls her Ocypode) fled by the Propontis till she came to the Echinadian Islands, which are now called Strophades after her; for when she came to them she turned (estraphe) and being at the shore fell for very weariness with her pursuer.

		Jackson analyzes the sources, concluding that Apollonius has chosen a Hesiodic framework for the myth of Phineus (as opposed to the grim story of the blinding of Phineus' children in Sophocles), but that in fact no earlier version of the tale of the Argonauts included a meeting between Jason and Phineus.
		He argues that the Phineus episode as a whole is (14) "a lesson to Jason in the avoidance of hybris and the necessity of themis" and that the encounter is part of Jason's education in the Argonautica.
		For DeForest, on the other hand, Phineus is a representative of the Callimachean narrator of the Argonautica, twisting the tale away from the Homeric and towards the Callimachean, away from heroism and towards eros.
