In Inferno, harpies are found in the second ring of the seventh circle of hell, which punishes violence against oneself. In the 'Wood of the Suicides', the souls of those who attempted to or died through suicide transformed into gnarled trees, only allowed to speak when broken and bleeding, with the harpies feeding upon them. by Dante Alighieri, Canto XIII
