lamia词源中文解释
女妖，源自14世纪晚期的拉丁文 lamia “女巫，巫婆，吸血鬼”，源自希腊文 lamia “女吸血鬼，食人怪物”，字面意思是“吞咽者，好色之徒”，源自 laimos “喉咙，咽喉”（参见 larynx）。也许与拉丁文 lemures “死去的灵魂”（参见 lemur）类似，并且像其一样，从非印欧语系借用而来。在早期圣经翻译中用于形容角鸮和海怪。在中古英语中，有时也指美人鱼：
Also kynde erreþ in som beestes wondirliche j-schape, as it fareþ in a beest þat hatte lamia, þat haþ an heed as a mayde & body as a grym fissche[;] whan þat best lamya may fynde ony man, first a flatereþ wiþ hym with a wommannes face and makeþ hym ligge by here while he may dure, & whanne he may noferþere suffice to here lecherye þanne he rendeþ hym and sleþ and eteþ hym. [Bartholomew Glanville, "De proprietatibus rerum," c. 1240, translated by John of Trevisa c. 1398]
某些动物的形状极不寻常，在某种兽类中，那就是被称作拉米娅的生物。它的头像一个少女，而身体则像一条可怕的鱼，当这种拉米娅发现任何男人的时候，她会先化身成女性的面容，以迷惑男人，并诱骗他和她一同度过良宵。当男人无法满足她的色欲后，她会撕裂他，杀死他，并吞食他。【巴索洛缪·格朗维尔， "De proprietatibus rerum,"，约公元1240年，由特里维萨的约翰翻译于1398年】
