Pegasus - Start of Greek Monsters/Creatures of Mythology!

# data[].attributes.body
One of the most popular Greek mythological creatures is Pegasus, a beautiful white horse with large wings. He was the horse of Zeus and was born from the blood of Medusa when Perseus decapitated her.

Pegasus is a noble and intelligent horse, and he does not allow himself to be ridden by just about anyone indiscriminately. Only those who have a good heart can ride Pegasus, as he is able to perceive the evil lurking behind people’s intentions.

Pegasus is one of the creatures from Greek mythology that has appeared widely throughout film and television, becoming a symbol of honor in many stories.

In Greek mythology, the Hydra of Lerna was a ruthless aquatic monster, which had claws like a reptile and several heads. According to myth, every time one of its heads was cut off, two more heads emerged.

She was raised by Hera, Zeus’ wife, who kept her in a swamp that protected Lerna’s garden.

Hydra was a very solitary creature until she was killed by Hercules. He then soaked his sword in Hydra’s blood to make it poisonous.

This mythological creature takes the hybrid form of an eagle and a lion, combining their ferocity and courage into a single being.

They usually roamed in packs and were difficult to tame. Demigods were capable of taming them, however, and under them, they became loyal. They feed on the flesh of horses.

One myth tells the story of Apollo, who went in search of griffins and returned to Greece riding a hydra. The hydra took care of him and watched over his treasures.

According to Greek mythology, the Cyclops were one-eyed giants and some of the first beings to inhabit the universe.

They were a savage race dedicated to herding and hunting. They feared neither gods nor men.

There were two generations of Cyclops. The first generation was comprised of sons of Uranus and Gaea, who were dedicated to construction and crafts. They were stubborn and had a horrible temperament.

Eventually, they became known for their strength and power, as they forged highly manufactured weapons.

The gorgons were ruthless female monsters: Medusa, Steno, and Euryale, who were daughters of the sea gods, Forcis and Ceto. Medusa was the only mortal of the three.

They were beautiful but had snakes instead of hair, and anyone who looked at them was instantly petrified. That is why gorgons were carved at the entrances of the temples to ward off visitors.

Athena, jealous of the beauty and attention that Medusa possessed, cursed her. She was later beheaded by Perseus, who used her head as a weapon and gave it to Athena for her shield.

The minotaur is one of the most fascinating monsters of Greek mythology. With a man’s body and a bull’s head, his name means “Bull of Minos.” He was the son of Pasiphae and the Bull of Crete.

Minos, son of Zeus, asked Poseidon for help so that his people would make him the King of Crete after Asterion’s death. Poseidon agreed and brought forth from the seas a beautiful white bull, which Minos promised to sacrifice on his behalf.

But Minos was amazed by the beauty of the bull, and he sacrificed a different one in its place, hoping to trick Poseidon. This enraged Poseidon, which resulted in the minotaur taking the place of the white bull.

The minotaur became violent as it grew older, so Minos built a labyrinth and locked the Minotaur inside. The minotaur only consumed human flesh, and every nine years, Minos sacrificed seven women and seven men to be devoured by the Minotaur.
