Named for the daughter of Belus loved by Zeus {see planet  (5731)}. Hera {see planet  (103)}, out of jealousy, deformed Lameia and killed all her children but one. Lameia had the face and breasts of a woman and the body of a serpent. Because she could not avenge herself on Hera, Lameia lured strangers so that she might devour them. (Z 146) _ _.
