Presentation transcript:

 Dragon,  In Greek myths, dragons don’t usually have wings (mostly all)  Sharp Claws  Some Breath Fire  They have a serpent like shape( Greek dragons)  Known greek dragons:  Landon  Guarded the tree with the golden apples in the garden of the Hespirides.  Python  Earth dragon of Delphi, slayed by apollo  Colchian Dragon  Child of Typhon and Echidna, guarded the golden fleece.

 Titans,  They were a race of giants that ruled the earth before the Olympians(the Gods)  The leader of the titans was Cronus. He was later overthrown by his own son Zues.  Banished to a place named Tartarus.  Names,  Gaea  Earth Goddess  Mated with her son Uranus to produce the remaining titans.  Uranus  Sky God  Son of Gaea and later became her husband.   Cronus  Ruler of the Titans  Ruled the Titans, by grabbing power after disposing of his father Uranus.  Rhea  ?  Rhea was the wife of Cronus. Cronus made it a practice to swallow their children so Rhea, saved their son Zues and instead fed Cronus a rock.  (The rest will be in less detail.)   Oceanus  Titan of streams and oceans  Tethys  Wife of Oceanus  Hyperion  Titan of light, and his children are Helius(the Sun), Selene(the Moon) and Eos(Dawn)

 Mnemosyne  Titan of Memory  Themis  Titan of Justice and order  Iapetus  Father of Prometheus, Epimetheus, Menoetius, and Atlas.  Coeus  Titan of Intelligence  Phoebe  Titan of the Moon  Prometheus  Prometheus was the wisest Titan. His name means "forethought" and he was able to foretell the future. He was the son of Iapetus. Was on Zues’ side when Zues revolted against the titans. Later Punished for creating man but again rescued by Zues’ son HERCULES!!!  Epimetheus  He is the brother of Prometheus and is a stupid titan whose name means after thought.  Atlas  Atlas was the son of Iapetus. Unlike Prometheus and his brother, Atlas fought with the other Titans supporting Cronus against Zeus. Due to Cronus’ advance age Atlas lead the Titan's in battle. As a result he was singled out by Zeus for a special punishment and made to hold up the world on his back.  Metis  Metis was the Titaness of the forth day and the planet Mercury. She presided over all wisdom and knowledge  Dione  Some say she is the moher of Aphrodite.

 The Hydra’s blood is poisonous  The Hydra once had 7 heads. The thing is, that when one head is cut of, it grows 2 in replace.  One of Heracles’ 12 Labours was to slay the Hydra who lives in a swamp right next to Lerna Lake.  It seems impossible to defeat but Heracles, or should I say his nephew Lolaus, found a way around it. His nephew thought up and idea, and that Idea was to burn the stump straight after it got cut of and therefore stopping it from regrowing a new pair of heads.

 A Centaur is a hybrid creature. That means it is a mix of animals not just on. In this case, a Centaur is a mix between a horse and a human. Its upper torso and above, is in the form of a human while below the waist, it’s a horses body.  Most Centaurs inhabit the region of Magnesia and Mount Pelion in Thessaly, Mount Pholoe in Arcadia and the Malean peninsula in southern Laconia.

 A Chimera, like a Centaur, is a hybrid but this time it has the body of a lioness with a tail that terminated in a snake's head, the head of a goat arose on her back at the center of her spine. The Chimera was one of the offspring of Typhon and Echidna and a sibling of such monsters as Cerberus and the Lernaean Hydra.  Breathes Fire  Slayed by Bellelophron with the help of the flying horse,Pegasus’.
