caragontía
  58

One of the many lamias of our mythology of Arab roots, woman-snake, Moracantana of Montánchez Castle, Extremaduran municipality of Cáceres, similar to the swallowing of Cazorla Castle in Jaén. While the castle was besieged by Christians a Moorish princess came out in the shape of a snake to comb in a fountain which allowed its conquest by the besiegers. The Moorish king punished her and threw her into a cistern. St. John's night regains its human form and sings : I am the feature / that I walk night and day / and the one who hears me sing / nearby has his agony.
