The harpy is the mythological creature that tortures those who are guilty of suicide.

In Greek mythology and Roman mythology, a harpy is known as a half-human and half-bird personification of storm winds, in Homeric poems. Harpies were considered agents of punishment. Therefore, they abducted people and tortured them on their way to hades“ domain, employed by the God as instruments for the punishment of the guilty.
