Frisk Etymology German
Ἅρπυια: {Hárpuia}
Forms: Daneben die offenbar alte Dualform Ἀρεπυία (Aigina).
Grammar: f., gewöhnl. im Plur.,
Meaning: die Harpyien, unheimliche Dämonen, die mit dem Sturmwind verknüpft werden (seit Il.).
Etymology : Reduplikationsloses substantiviertes Partizip auf -υια wie ἄγυια, αἴθυια usw. (Schwyzer 541). Die zweisilbige Stammform in Ἀρεπυία (das neben Ἅρπυια steht wie ὀρόγυια neben ὄργυια) ist für die sonst naheliegende Anknüpfung an ἅρπη, ἁρπάζω (von denen indessen der Spiritus stammt) nicht günstig. Der Ausdruck Ἅρπυιαι ἀνηρέψαντο (ξ 371 = α 241) läßt vielmehr auf Verwandtschaft mit ἐρέπτομαι raufen, abrupfen, fressen (s. d.) schließen. Bechtel Lex.

The harpy eagle (Harpia harpyja) is a neotropical species of eagle. It is also called the American harpy eagle to distinguish it from the Papuan eagle, which is sometimes known as the New Guinea harpy eagle or Papuan harpy eagle. It is the largest and most powerful raptor found in the rainforest, and among the largest extant species of eagles in the world. It usually inhabits tropical lowland rainforests in the upper (emergent) canopy layer. Destruction of its natural habitat has caused it to vanish from many parts of its former range, and it is nearly extirpated in Central America. In Brazil, the harpy eagle is also known as royal-hawk (in Portuguese: gavião-real).
