This post is about the more "unknown" monsters of Greek mythology that you probably don't know about such as the (not really) infamous SKOLOPENDRA (or Scolopendra). A gargantuan sea-monster with hairy nostrils, flat crayfish-like tail and rows of webbed feet lining its sides. Or maybe you know about the even less infamous, Mormo, In Greek mythology, Mormo was a spirit who bit bad children, and was said to have been a companion of the goddess Hecate. The name was also used to signify a female vampire-like creature in stories told to Greek children by their nurses to keep them from misbehaving. You may know about The Ichthyocentaurs. The Ichthyocentaurs were sea-god brothers named Bythos and Aphros whose parents were the mighty Poseidon and the sea goddess Amphitrite. These guardians of the sea are described as being part man, part horse, part fish, with lobster claws for horns on their head. Little is known about their purpose, but legend tells they carried the defeated companions of the god King Dionysus back to the sea and were pretty much centaurs of the ocean. So I leave you with a question, Did you know any of these monsters even existed? (in Greek myth)
Please be sure to put things into your own words. You cannot just got to Wikipedia (or any other site) and copy someone else's work.
ReplyDeletei think that the unknown monsters are just folk tail. If they were real we would of found bones probably by now.i don't believe in monsters because if their were monsters how did they get on land and why aren't they still here. if u believed in monsters why.
ReplyDeleteThat is why I wrote at the end "In Greek mythology"
