TyphonThis is a featured page

Typhon is the final son of Gaia, fathered by Tartarus, and is the most deadly monster of Greek mythology. Typhon attempts to destroy Zeus at the will of Gaia, because Zeus had imprisoned the Titans. His human upper half reached as high as the stars. His hands reached east and west and had a hundred dragon heads on each. His bottom half was gigantic viper coils that could reach the top of his head when stretched out and made a hissing noise. His whole body was covered in wings, and fire flashed from his eyes. He was defeated by Zeus, who trapped Typhon underneath Mount Etna.

Typhon was also the mate of Echidna and together they had many monsterous children together.








Their children included...

Nemean Lion
Lycian Chimera
Ladon
Theban Sphinx
Lerneaen Hydra
Cerberus
Orthrus
Ethon/Caucasus Eagle
Teumession Fox
Crommyonian Sow
Colchian Dragon
