ギリシア神話の英雄ヘラクレスによって退治された、スチュパリデス湖の怪鳥のこと。
スチュパリデスは、もともと狼を恐れてこの湖に逃げ込んだ鳥たちであった。翼や爪、くちばしは青銅でできており、これを使い人や家畜を襲っていた。
ヘラクレスは彼の行った12の難行のうちの6番目に、この怪鳥退治を行った。女神パラスアテナから授かったシンバルで怪鳥たちを空に追い、これを次次と矢で射落とした。
Translation: Place of origin: Greece
Bird monsters of Lake StymphalidesShould read Lake Stymphalia[sic] which were exterminated by the Greek mythological hero Heracles.
The Stymphalides were originally birds that took refuge at this lake out of fear of wolves. Their wings, claws, and bears were made of bronze, and they used these to attack people and livestock.
Heracles' extermination of these bird monsters was done as the sixth of his twelve labors. He was awarded a cymbal from the goddess Pallas Athena for chasing the bird monsters into the sky and shooting them down one by one with arrows.
Persona 2: Innocent Sin Crane-like monster with a bronze beak. Subjugated by Hercules in Greek lore.
