Story
When Horpyna first appeared in the novel, she visited wounded Bohun who was treated by
Wołodyjowski
to free Helena.
Sienkiewicz placed Horpyna's cave in the gorges around Valea Adîncă which is located in Transnistria.
Description
She is a brazen−faced giantess who is in friendship with devils, but she is a good−looking woman. When she laughs you would swear that a mare was neighing in the meadow. She has white teeth so strong that she might chew up a breastplate. When she walks the ground trembles.[1]
