The aim of this paper is to analyse two characters who suffered the punishment of not being allowed to close their eyes so as to retain in their retinas the image of the loss of their children: Lamia and Ellaria Sand. The first one, Lamia, is a Greek mythological or folklore character punished by Hera for having an affair with her husband, Zeus. The second one is Ellaria Sand, from the series Game of Thrones (seventh season, third episode, titled “The Queen’s Justice”), who was robbed of her daughter Tyene by Cersei Lannister in King’s Landing. In this paper, the author will also point out the similarities and differences between the two scenarios. For this purpose, she will consider the characters’ antecedents and evolution after being punished with the impossibility of closing their eyes.
