Greek Mythological Monsters By Ben Segal
Gorgon The Gorgon is a vicious beast. With snakes for hair and immortality on their side, this is one of the most feared monsters of all time. The only advantage on the Gorgon is their blood. It is used for medicines by the Ancient Greeks.
Cyclops This brutal one-eyed creature worked in the forges for Hephaestus. They were seen as disgusting, foul demons. Odysseus was once trapped by one having to poke its eye to escape. The names “Cyclops” comes from ancient Greek meaning “circle”.
Chimera Once a pet of King Caria, the Chimera roams the earth terrorizing anyone that it meets. Its big muscular body is part snake, lion and ram.
Harpy A scary monster such as the Harpy is every Greek’s nightmare. It is half human half bird. It flies around its prey like a vulture. “Harpy” means snatcher in Greek
Medusa Medusa is probably the most famous Greek monster by far. She is the only mortal gorgon that exists. Her cold stare turns people into stone. Pursues used Medusa’s severed head to turn his enemies into stone.
Hydra This monster is very dangerous because of its many abilities. First of all, it lets out lethal fumes into the air. Second of all, once its claws are dug into the ground, it can’t be moved. Third of all, it has poisonous blood.
Griffon This monster is probably one of the most unique monsters ever. It is half eagle half lion and 8 times stronger than one lion. Its only fear is Prince Hage, for he killed Griffons in his time.
Image 3 of 50 Cerberus Cerberus is well known because he has 3 heads. He guards the entrance to the underworld, only letting spirits enter. Cerberus is a large dog with strength the same as 20 men.
Manticore The Manticore is probably the least known monster. It has the body of a lion and the tail of a scorpion which it can shoots spikes from.
Scylla Scylla is a big threat to sailors because she is a large serpent with 9 heads that creates a whirlpool at the end of her tail. Her sister is Charibdis who also has 9 heads and eats men off of their ships.
Hecatoncheires The Hecatoncheires is by far the strangest of all monsters. It has 50 arms and 100 heads! It is also the brother of Cyclopes and Titans.
Pandora’s Box Pandora’s Box is the creator of all the evils in the world. Zeus gave Pandora a box that was never to be opened. But, out of curiosity, Pandora opened it anyway letting all the evil out but giving all of it hope. This box could never be shut.
