Typhon
Typhon- a powerful monster spawned by Gaia; the personification of the fiery forces of the earth and its vapors, with their destructive actions.
According to one version of the myth, Typhon was born by Gaia and Tartarus, according to another, the goddess Hera gave birth to him, hitting the ground with her hand. She did this in retaliation to Zeus, who himself gave birth to Athena. Typhon was brought up by Python - a huge snake, born of the goddess of the earth Gaia. Typhon is represented in legends as a creature with a hundred dragon heads, a body similar to a human, covered with plumage, instead of legs the monster had snake rings. Some sources report that Typhon's heads are human-like, but he can reproduce the cries of animals.
The Iliad mentions the struggle of Typhon with Zeus and his stay in the underground bowels, in the country of the Arims or under Mount Arima (in Asia Minor); later, when the Greeks became aware of the volcanic properties of the Kuma coast in Italy, the Aeolian Islands and Sicily, the monstrous giant Typhon was transferred to these areas.
Typhon and Echidna gave birth to many terrible creatures: the Chimera, the Lernean hydra, the dogs of Orff and Cerberus. This creature, born of chaos, carried a huge destructive power. The word "typhoon" came from his name. Typhon, crossing the Aegean Sea, scattered the islands of the Cyclades, which had previously been closely located. The fiery breath of the monster reached the island of Fer and destroyed its entire western half, and turned the rest into a scorched desert. The island has since taken on the shape of a crescent. Giant waves raised by Typhon reached the island of Crete and destroyed the kingdom of Minos.
The Olympic gods, frightened by the monster, fled from their abode. One Zeus, the bravest of the young gods, decided to fight Typhon. The fight went on for a long time, in the heat of battle, the opponents moved from Greece to Syria. Here Typhon shattered the earth with his giant body, subsequently these traces of the battle were filled with water and became rivers. Zeus pushed Typhon north and threw him into the Ionian Sea, near the Italian coast. The Thunderer incinerated the monster with lightning and threw him into Tartarus.
According to another legend, Typhon first defeated Zeus. He entangled the god with his legs like snake rings, cut and pulled out all the tendons. Then Typhon threw Zeus into the Korikian cave in Cilicia and put the dragon Delphine to guard him. Zeus was imprisoned until Hermes and Aegipane stole the tendons of the god from Typhon and returned them to the Thunderer. Then the enraged god again attacked the monster, and the battle continued.
Moira helped Zeus, advising Typhon to eat the fruits of a poisonous one-day plant in order to increase his strength. Following this advice, Typhon completely lost his strength, and Zeus filled up the monster with a huge block. Etna volcano was formed at this place. Legends say that sometimes Typhon, remembering his defeat, spews smoke and flames from the mouth of a volcano. Typhon was later identified with the Egyptian Set, the god of Sirocco, death, devastation, solar and lunar eclipses, and other misfortunes.
TYPHON
In Greek mythology, the monstrous son of the land of Gaia and Tartarus (Hes. Theog. 820-822; Apollod. I 6, 3). According to another version, Typhon was born by a Hera who hit her hand on the ground when she decided, in revenge to Zeus, who gave birth to Athena, to also produce offspring on her own. Hera gave Typhon to be raised by Python, who was then killed by Apollo (Hymn. Nom. II 12T-177). Typhon is a wild, chthonic teratomorphic creature: he has a hundred dragon heads, part of the body up to the hips is human. Below the hips, instead of legs, Typhon has writhing rings of snakes. The body is covered with feathers. He is bearded and hairy (Apollod. I 6, 3). Each of the throats of Typhon emits the wild voices of bulls, lions, dogs (Hes. Theog. 829-835). Typhon could have become the ruler of the world if Zeus had not entered into a fight with him: he incinerated Typhon with lightning, hit him with thunderbolts and threw him into tartar (837-868). According to another version of the myth, the victory was given to Zeus with great difficulty: Typhon embraced Zeus with rings of snakes, cut his tendons, and locked him in the Korikian cave in Cilicia, where Zeus was guarded by the dragon Delphine. But Hermes and Aegilan stole the tendons of Zeus hidden in the cave, inserted them into him, and he, gaining strength again, began to pursue Typhon. Moira deceived Typhon, convincing him to taste the so-called. one-day fruits (poisonous plant "ephemeral"), supposedly to increase strength (Apollod. I 6, 3). Zeus piled on Typhon the huge Mount Etna in Sicily, and from there Typhon spews fire (Aeshyl. Prom. 365-372). Typhon and Echidna gave birth to many monsters (the dog Orff, the dog Cerberus, the Lernean hydra, the chimera, Hes. Theog. 306-325). Typhon refers to the offensive forces of the earth, his fate, like other monsters, is a foregone conclusion in the struggle of the Olympians with chthonicism.

Typhon in mythology
Children of Echidna and Typhon
Brother and sister left behind offspring, and these creatures are frequent heroes of ancient Greek myths, monsters that terrify ordinary people. The lion's part was killed by the offspring of Zeus.
Orff
Huge monstrous dog with two heads. And the father of the Sphinx and the Nemean lion (or brother, according to the second version), is described in the myth of the tenth feat of Hercules. The owner of the dog is the giant Geryon.
Geryon had a herd of magical red bulls at his disposal, and they were guarded by a two-headed dog. Hercules stole the animals and clubbed them to death.
Cerberus
A three-headed dog spewing poison from its mouth, or Kerberos, is also familiar to many. It was believed that the monster guards the entrance to the kingdom of the dead - Hades. The task of the monster is not to let the dead into the world of the living. According to descriptions in myths, in addition to three heads, the dog has a snake tail and snake heads located on its back. But there are other descriptions as well.
According to one, he has 50 or 100 heads, in others he is depicted with the body of a man, huge hands and a large dog head. In one hand he compresses a bull's head, it destroys with breath, and in the other - a goat's head, which kills with a look.
Cerberus is a strong monster spawned by Typhon and Echidna. However, he also fell at the hands of Hercules. The hero managed to defeat him with the help of Athena and Hermes.
lernaean hydra
A monster resembling a huge snake with poisonous breath lived in underground waters. Described variously as a snake with seven, nine, five, ten or a hundred heads.
It was believed that if you cut off her head, then three will grow. One of the Hydra's heads is immortal. The myth says that the monster breathes fire like a real dragon.
Raised by the Hero, mercilessly killed people and devoured them. But this monster was killed by Hercules. He cut off the immortal head of the Hydra.
nemean lion
There are various myths about the Nemean lion. Some indicate that he is the son of Echidna, Orff, and fed by Selene. According to another source, a huge lion fell from the moon.
Leo has two features: gigantic size and thick skin. It is impossible to defeat a lion - the weapon could not cut the skin.
The beast lived near the city of Nimea and destroyed the surroundings. This continued until the Mycenaean king Eurystheus ordered Hercules to get rid of the beast. It was impossible to kill the monster with a weapon, so the strongest of the people strangled him.
Chimera
A monster with the head and neck of a lion, a goat's body, a snake's tail - a frightening Chimera. In the descriptions, it has three heads, one of a goat, the second - of a lion, the third - of a snake.
There is speculation that the creature breathed fire. Killed by the handsome Bellerophon, son of Glaucus. The young man struck him with an arrow from a bow.
Sphinx
Zoomorphic mythical creature - sphinx- existed in ancient Greece and Egypt. Today there are disputes about who gave birth to the monster. According to one version, the parents are Typhon and Echidna, according to another, Orf and Chimera.
The creature has a human head and chest, paws and body of a lion, eagle wings, an ox tail. In Greek myths, this creature is female, has the wings of a griffin. The monster committed suicide when Oedipus solved its riddles.
Efon
According to myths, this is an eagle that was ordered to devour the liver of Prometheus.
In others, it is a personification of hunger. Was destroyed by Demeter's settlement in
