3. › The Loch Ness Monster or Nessie is located in the
North of Scotland in the Loch Ness. Nessie had
a long neck, two humps, a tail, and a snakelike
head. A V-shaped was often mentioned, as well
as a gaping red mouth and horns or antennae
on the top of the creature's head
› The fact for its existence are a series of sightings
of a dinosaur throughout the last 100 years. The
case has occasionally been supported by
indistinct photographic facts.

4.  Chimera was a monstrous beast which ravaged the
countryside of Lykia in Anatolia. It was a composite
creature, with the body and maned head of a lion, a
goat's head rising from its back, a set of goat-
udders, and a serpentine tail.
 The most famous moment involving the Chimera in
Greek mythology is when the Greek hero
Bellerophon, with the help of his trusty winged
steed, Pegasus, killed the Chimera with a bow and
arrow from the sky above.
 Beyond mythology, the term "chimera" is used in
scientific research to explain an animal that contains
more than one set of genetic codings. This is a clear
nod to the Greek monster, in that the monster itself is a
combination of three different 'normal' animals.

5.  The Medusa was the daughter of Phorkys and
Keto, the children of Gaia (Earth) and
Okeanos (Ocean). She was one of the three
sisters known as the Gorgons. The other two
sisters were Sthenno and Euryale. Medusa was
the only mortal out of the three. She was once
very beautiful and lived far in the north were
the sun didn't visit. Being very curious, she
wanted to see the sun, and asked the
Goddess Athena for permission to visit the
south. Athena refused to allow her to visit. The
medusa got angry and dared to say that
Athena hadn't given her permission because
she was jealous of her beauty. that was it!
Athena was angered and punished her by
turning her hair into snakes and cursing her by
making her so ugly that who ever lookes at
her eyes would turn into stone.

6. Mishipeshu has been variously
described as a horned serpent or an
aquatic feline. Most legends hold that
the creature possessed a combination
of both reptilian and feline features as is
indicated both by its name and its
depiction in the ancient pictographs of
Agawa Bay.
He possesses paws that enable him to
swim swiftly through the water, scales
cover both his back and tail.
Mishipeshu was believed to reside in the
vicinity of the Lake Superior region
located in Canada. His domain was
supposed to exist within caverns and
tunnels found beneath under lakes, a
fact which allowed him to move with
relative ease within the region.

7.  Pegasus is the winged horse that was fathered
by Poseidon with Medusa. When her head was
cut of by the Greek hero Perseus, the horse
sprang forth from her pregnant body.
 Pegasus aided him in killing the Chimera and
defeating the Solymians and the Amazons.
However, Bellerophon grew arrogant and
attempted to ride Pegasus to Mount Olympus.
For his impiety, Zeus sent a gadfly to bite
Pegasus, causing him to rear and throw
Bellerophon off. In some myths, after this
incident, Pegasus became the carrier of Zeus’
thunderbolts.
 In another version when Bellerophon
attempted to mount the horse it threw him off
and rose to the heavens, where it became a
constellation (north of the ecliptic).

8.  Cerberus kept the entrance to the
lower world, the Hades. It is a child of
the giant Typhon and Echidna, which
makes him the sibling of the Lernaean
Hydra, the chimera, and several other
nasty creatures.
 He was posted to prevent ghosts of
the dead from leaving the
underworld. Cerberus was described
as a three-headed dog with a
serpent's tail, a mane of snakes, and a
lion's claws. Some say he had fifty
heads, though this number might have
included the heads of his serpentine
mane.
 Herakles was sent to fetch Kerberos
forth from the underworld as one of his
twelve labours, his last task

9.  The phoenix has been an enduring
mythological symbol for millennia
and across vastly different cultures.
 Despite such varieties of societies
and times, the phoenix is
consistently characterized as a bird
with brightly colored
plumage, which, after a long
life, dies in a fire of its own making
only to rise again from the ashes.
From religious and naturalistic
symbolism in ancient Egypt, to a
secular symbol for
armies, communities, and even
societies, as well as an often-used
literary symbol, this mythical bird's
representation of death and rebirth
seems to resonate with humankind's
aspirations.

10.  The really name of Minotaur is Asterius.
He was the love-child of Pasiphae, the
Queen of Crete and a bull. Which
explains why he had the head of a bull
and the body of a man. Naturally, the
king was not exactly thrilled that his wife
banged a bull and gave him a mutant
step-son, but it was pretty much his fault
to begin with.
 Poseidon agreed and sent a beautiful
bull to the King. Apparently the bull was
such a fine specimen that Minos had
second thoughts about sacrificing it. In
fact, he decided against it, and instead
sacrificed a different bull to Poseidon.
