Encyclopedia entry

Trifling with bee maidens often leads to getting stung.

Origin

In Greek mythology the thriae were nymphs: they had the head and torso of human women, and the lower body and wings of a bee. This is probably why they have seduction and stinging attacks in both dNetHack and SpliceHack.
