Cupid, Aphrodite's son, falls in love with Psyche, a woman who was worshiped for her beauty in her hometown. Both of these facts make Aphrodite green with envy and she does all in her power to prevent their union. And the Goddess has no intention of playing fair. Therefore, she devises three epic trials for Psyche,   which are almost impossible to accomplish. Finally, due to divine intervention - Zeus puts an end to Aphodite's schemes - Cupid (Love) and Psyche (Soul) become one.

Daedalus is a famous inventor and engineer. King Minos assigns to Daedalus and his son, Icarus, the construction of the labyrinth that is going to keep the Minotaur, a monster with the head of a bull and the body of a man, in. After finishing their work, King Minos cages them inside the labyrinth. They have to think how to escape. They collect a lot of feathers from the birds so they glue them together with wax to create two wings for each other.  They tie the wings to their shoulders and fly over Crete. Daedalus warns Icarus not to fly close to the sun because the wax is going to melt. But Icarus flies high and gets closer to the sun. The sun softens the wax that holds the feathers together and Icarus falls into the sea and drowns. In his memory, Daedalus names the island where his son falls, Icaria.

Sphinx is represented with a woman's head  and a winged lion's body. According to Isiodos she  was the daughter of Chimaira and Orthus or for some others the daughter of Typhon and Ehidna.
According to the story of Oedipus Rex the Sphinx is the guard of the entrance to Thebes. She forces the passers to solve a riddle and if they give her a wrong answer, she kills them.
The famous riddle goes as follows:
''What goes on four feet in the morning, two feet at noon, and three feet in the evening?'' Oedipus was the one who found the answer: A man!  A man as a baby in the morning of their life crawls on hands knees (four feet).  As an adult at the noon of their life, they walk on two feet. But when they are old, in the evening of their life, they walk with a cane, on three feet.
After all these,  the Sphinx cannot  kill  the people of Thebes anymore and commits suicide!

The current capital of Greece was not always named Athens but rather "Cecropia" which comes from the first king of the city, "Cecrops". However, the Gods really liked this piece of land and want it to be named after one of them. The God who wins will become the patron of the city. The main dispute about the name is between Poseidon and Athena and since Zeus wants to solve this dispute, he decides that each of them is going to present a gift to the city and the people of Cecropia are to decide which gift is the best, and therefore which god is to be the patron of the city. Then, one day, Cecrops and the citizens of the city gather to a high hill and watch the Gods presenting their gifts. Poseidon is the first to present his gift. He strikes his trident on the ground and a spring of water magically comes up. However, the people are not exactly happy with his gift because the water from the spring is salty, just like the waters of the sea. Next is Athena's turn. She strikes her spear on the ground and a lovely olive tree jumps out of the earth. The citizens love this gift as the olive tree provides food, oil and fuel to the people of Cecropia. And so Athena is declared as the winner and the city is renamed to Athens.

The Kraken is an enormous creature that lives in the coasts of Norway and Greenland. An ancient myth says that no one knows the size of the Kraken because when sailors see it, they think that it is an island and when they approach it, the Kraken uses its tentacles to catch the sailors and eat them. If someone survives the attack, he will drown due to the gigantic waves that the Kraken causes when it submerges back into the water.

The Wendigo is a terrible and grotesque creature that survives on human flesh. It is about eight feet tall with superhuman strength and a skull of a stag. The thing is , this is not how a native American would describe the Wendigo. If you were to ask a native American to describe the creature, he would say that it is human, but this is wrong. Its skin is almost translucent and stretched to the point that you can see its bones. It has sharp human-like teeth and sunken eyes. The reason it looks so human is, because it once was. You see, back when large cities and huge roads did not exist, getting supplies for the winter was extremely difficult, especially for the native American people living in villages in the middle of a forest, and sometimes desperate and greedy hunters would eat their dead fellow hunters and overtime go insane. So, the native Americans believed that an evil malicious spirit would possess hunters who had eaten human flesh and make them go insane. It is also believed that the hunter now turned into the Wendigo becomes more powerful by the more people it consumes. It can be powerful enough to make the sun disappear. Knowing this, we can be sure that the Wendigo is the manifestation of a horrible winter. It is unknown when or why people started thinking the Wendigo had a stag skull but most people believe it is just a modern interpretation or because of confusing it with the Skinwalker. Although similar in appearance the one is a man turned into a beast and the other is a nightmarish monster no one dares to speak about.

If you read the whole thing thank you, it took me quite a while to find all of this information. (the image below is the modern version of the Wendigo).
