all. When captured, Mucius stuck his right hand into a nearby flame in order to demonstrate the courage and bravery of the Romans. Porsenna was so impressed that he let Muciusgo free. Mucius later received the cognomen Scaevola which means “left-handed”

2. This creature inhabited the lands of Lerna. It was eventually killed by Herakles. The only way in which to kill it was to

lop of each head and cauterize the neck before more head could grow back

in its place.

L. MINOTAUR

1. This creature has the body of a man and the head of a bull.2. It is believed that the Minotaur is the offspring of Pasiphae,

who was the wife of King Minos.3. It is believed that the Minotaur was born due to a grave

error of arrogance on the part of King Minos of Crete. The King bragged that he had been granted the kingdom from the gods. He declared that whatever he prayed for would be granted. Therefore he prayed to the god Poseidon to produce a beautiful bull…and thus he would sacrifice this bull to the god. However,

he decided to sacrifice a different bull and offended Poseidon. Thus Poseidon contrived that Pasiphae, the queen, should

fall in love with the bull, thus producing the Minotaur.Minos commissioned Daedalus to construct a great

Labyrinth within which to contain the great Minotaur.Theseus is credited with the killing of the Minotaur in order

to rescue the people of Crete from the yearly sacrifice of seven young men and seven maidens.

M. SPHINX1. This creature had the head of a woman, the breast, feet, &

tail of a lion, AND wings of a bird.2. She was another child of Typhon & Echidna.3. Hera (read websites for further information on why) sent

the Sphinx to harass the people of Thebes with her riddle…no one could pass unless they could solve the riddle. “What goes first by four, then by two, and at last by three?”

It was the unrecognized son of Laius and Iocasta…Oedipus by name…who solved the riddle of the Sphinx. (Read the websites for further information on Oedipus.)

N. SCYLLA & CHARYBDIS

1. Scylla is described as having the upper body of a woman and the lower body of six dogs.

Charybdis is sometimes depicted as having the upper body of a woman and the lower body of snakes…not 100% sure.

2. Scylla is often referred to as the clashing rocks…she would lure sailors towards her and crash their ships between her rocks.

Charybdis is often referred to as the whirlpool…she would lure the sailors into her cavernous region and suck the ships into her whirling waves and spew them back out.

It is believed that these two resided in the Straits of Messina.
