Some Monsters
Typhon Father of all Monsters
Echidna Mother of all Monsters
Strongest of all Monsters
Together they are unstoppable
Orthrus a two-headed hound
Sphinx half human half lion who slays anybody who wrongly answer her riddles
Nemean Lion gifted with impenetrable skin
Cerberus three-headed dog guarding Hell's gates
Ladon drakon guarding the Garden of the Hesperides' golden apples
Lernaean Hydra has many heads that multiplied when cut off
Caucasian Eagle eats Prometheus' liver
Chimera fire-breathing hybrid creature body of a lion, head of a goat, and a snake's head as a tail
Call them Monsters
But they did not choose
What people calls them
They could be nice
But no one knows
For labels can not be taken away
Born with it
Live with it
Die for it
Arachne challenged the wrong person and was cursed with a body of a spider
Arion immortal speaking horse
Centaurs half-man, half horse, said to be primal and aggressive
Cyclops giant one-eyed monsters, lawless creatures
Harpies birds with human females' faces, agents of punishment
Lamia child-devouring Queen, beauty was her downfall
Medusa
beautiful maiden with golden hair
priestess of Athena but fell in love with Poseidon
Broke her vow
And Athena cursed her
With snakes for hair
Eyes that turns all who gazes into stone
The Gorgon was born
Her sisters Stheno and Euryale too
Perseus ended her
Minotaur
Head of a bull body of a human
Birthed by the Queen
Imprisoned by King Minos
Lived in Daedalus' labyrinth
Killed by Theseus
Pegasus
A beautiful, pure white stallion armed with wings
Born from Medusa's blood
As Perseus ended her
Polyphemus
Son of Poseidon
Punished by Zeus
Scylla
Sea monster
Living perched on rocks of a narrow water channel
Charybdis
Sea monster
Whirlpool opposite of Scylla
Ships caught between both
Ended up sunken or eaten
The Sirens
Beautiful deadly singing creatures
Luring those who passed by to their deaths
Half woman, half bird
Labels made them who they are
Created and then rejected
Blamed for existing
Yet no one blamed their creators
