Typhon

Typhon (Τυφων), also known as Typhoeus (Τυφωευς), Typhaon (Τυφαων), and Typhos (Τυφως), was a monster from Greek mythology. He was the offspring of Tartarus and Gaea. Typhon was conceived by Gaea to dethrone the Olympians, although he failed and was imprisoned under the volcanic Mount Aetna. Typhon was described as being so tall that his head brushed the stars, having wings, and snakes in the place of legs. He also had snakes for fingers and eyes that flashed with flames.

Typhon mated with the she-monster Echidna and, together, they produced many other monsters, including: Orthrus, Cerberus, the Lernaean Hydra, the Chimera, the Caucasian Eagle, the Crommyonian Sow, and the Colchian Dragon. Without a mate, Typhon produced the Trojan Dragons and the Anemoi Thuellai.
