The Griffin was a bird-like beast with an eagle's head and wings (sometimes wingless) and a lion's body. It was a favourite decorative motif in the Levant and Mediterranean lands.
Cerberus was a monstrous, three-headed watchdog that guarded the entrance to the underworld. He devoured anyone who tried to escape Hades and refused living humans entrance, though Orpheus gained passage by charming him with his lyre.
Typhon was the most powerful Greek monster. He was a winged giant with the head, arms, and torso of a man with pointed ears and a filthy beard, and his lower half consisted of two coiled serpents. He caused devastating storms.
The Hydra was a serpent-like water monster with many heads. Its breath was so poisonous that it could kill men. Hercules killed the Hydra of Lerna as the second of his Twelve Labours.
Scylla was a sea monster who haunted one side of a narrow channel of water (the Strait of Messina), opposite her counterpart, Charybdis. Ships that sailed too close to Scylla would lose men. The idiom "between Scylla and Charybdis" comes from their myths.
The Ketos was a huge sea creature sent by Poseidon to ravage the land of Aethiopia after Queen Kassiopeia boasted that her daughter, Andromeda, was more beautiful than the Nereids. Perseus slew the Ketos to save Andromeda from being sacrificed to it.
Polyphemus was a one-eyed (or three-eyed) man-eating Cyclops giant. In an episode of Homer's Odyssey, Odysseus encounters Polyphemus, gets him drunk on wine, and drives a small sharpened stake into Polyphemus' only eye, blinding him.
The Chimera was a ferocious fire-breathing hybrid monster from Lycia in Asia Minor. It is usually depicted with a lion's body, a goat's head on its back, and a tail that ends in a snake's head. The Chimera was killed by Bellerophon.
The Minotaur was a bull-headed monster that devoured human flesh in the twisting maze of the Labyrinth. It was the offspring of the Cretan Queen Pasiphae and a snow-white bull. The Athenian hero Theseus eventually slew it.
THREAD 🧵Celebrating #Halloween 🎃 with some ancient monsters. Let's start with the Gorgon, perhaps the best-known monster from Classical Mythology. The snake-haired Medusa was one of the three Gorgons. Anyone who looked at her face was turned to stone.
