Hey guys! The question of the week is…..
What is your favorite book that has a movie? I’m hoping I will like Perseus Jackson and the Lightning Thief.
It has to do with Greek Mythology, and everything to do with Greek mythology intrigues me insanely! The twelve Gods of Olympus, Medusa, the Minotaur, Chimera’s, and all the evil creatures that lurk in the Underworld with Hades. It is all just SO interesting!!!!
Chimera picture
This is a Chimera. It has three heads, the heads of a goat, a lion, and a dragon/serpent. The tail of a serpent, the torso of a goat, the wings of the dragon, and the legs of the lion and goat.
Its ruler is Echidna, Queen of the Serpents. She is NOT a type of anteater, and does not enjoy being called one, so unless you want her Chimera blowing fire at you, I wouldn’t say it.

This is Medusa
This is Medusa, she is the woman, snake… Half and Half lady. She has the head and body of a lady, only… Her hair isn’t hair, her hair consists of SNAKES and with one look in her eyes, you are STONE. She became this beast because of Athena, the Goddess of War. She was found having an affair with Poseidon in Athena’s temple, which made Athena, quite angry and decided to punish both Poseiden, and Medusa, who used to be quite a beautiful woman before becoming a Gorgon.
If anyone would like information on these Greek Mythological creatures, I am your girl to talk to. If you would like information on the Gods of Olympus, here is your
site. I am not completely equipped on the 12 Gods, I have about 5 or 6 down, and that is just names. As for life stories, about two or three. I hope you enjoyed!
