Greek Mythological Creatures Novels & Stories

” Thank you, Grandfather! They are so called their name because they are creatures that were created half and half. A mixture of oddities.

Some described them as men eating demons. In some languages, they were referred to as 'those cursed by the moon'. Their origin could be traced back to Greek mythology with Lycaon who was believed to have been cursed by Zeus himself. Then there was some nordic folklore also.

She is celebrated in an ancient story about the fate of her son, Meleager. When he was born, the Moirai, or the Fates in English, came to foretell his future, and they predicted he would die as soon as one of the sticks in the fireplace burned out completely.

" Clayton cries out in irritation. "Is that?" The monster let out a sonic roar causing the world to shake. "Yeah," I clench my fist and growl. "The basilisk has evolved into another mythical creature." The three-headed monster glares down at us as smoke emerges from its nostrils. It's fuming its anger and the evilness within. Hexia has spent time taking care of a snake and successfully turned it into another vicious creature told in Ancient Greek stories. It's the reason why her brothers were defeated.

Yesran walked along the shelves with wide eyes, her steps were slow, and then, not wanting to waste time, Yesran began to browse the books on the mythological shelf. Vampire. Nymph. Elves. Siren. And many more non-fiction books that tell the origin of mythological creatures from various continents.

Yesran's eyes narrowed when she saw the writing on the dark blue cover book.
