Mythical Monsters Greek Novels & Stories

Records described them as having a “greenish gleaming face with disheveled serpent-like hair while the rest of her body is covered by darkness. Abyzou says that she does not sleep, but rather wanders the world looking for women about to give birth; given the opportunity, she will strangle newborns. She claims also to be the source of many other afflictions, including deafness, eye trouble, obstructions of the throat, madness, and bodily pain. Arguably, the name “Abyzou” appears to be a corrupted form of the Greek word abyssos ("the abyss"), the Greek itself was borrowed from Assyrian Apsu or Sumerian Abzu, the undifferentiated sea from which the world was created in the Sumerian belief syste

The cover reads 'Legend of the gods. Curiously, I flipped open the first page while still standing at the top of the ladder and I read. 'long ago, before any being was created on earth, the three powerful gods rule the earth. There was the sun god Helios; creator of light and master of the day. Selene the moon goddess who created the moon. Mistress of the night and Mother of all living creatures in the world. She created the supernatural creatures and also the humans. Then last of all is Khaos, known as the legendary beast. He was the least of all gods and the moon goddess put him in charge of taking care of her children on earth so there would be peace among all. The moon goddess gave him a

Just Edith ? “Uh, in old-fashioned Greek, making implies an awesome creature,” my sister begins, “and it's a half-breed beast with the body of a goat, the tail of a serpent or winged serpent, and the upper part of a lion.— Although there are individuals who say that it only had three heads: one of a lion, another of

He had gone to darker caverns —caves under caves under caves, deep in the mountainside —formed by the first bubbles of the cooling earth. Here, Cronus, thousands of centuries before had pent up other monsters, the one-eyed Cyclopes, and the Hundred-handed Ones. Zeus unshackled these ugly cousins and led them against the Titans. There was a great rushing and tumult in the skies. The people on earth heard mighty thunder, and saw mountains shatter. The earth quaked and tidal waves rolled as the gods fought. The Titans were stronger and older with Cronus as their crafty leader. He attacked fiercely, driving the young gods before him. But Zeus had laid a trap. Half-way up the slope of Olympus, he

I tell him. We had made our plan, and we would see it through. I knew this plan was going to be dangerous, and I knew that we could easily end up dead. I knew that Asmoday was friends with three humans that had wanted to be turned into werebears by Athena. Yeah, all those gods had created many creatures over the last 2000 years. Both Athena and Aphrodite had created were creatures. Part human, part beast. The human was able to shift into an animal. They had created all sorts of humans that could shift into wolves, bears, numerous species of big cats, foxes, and many other animals. Athena also created dragons. Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades had begun a competition to see who could create t

I looked up and my stomach dropped. Aziel Nightbane. The monster himself. His golden eyes burned down at me with pure hate. Up close he smelled like blood and smoke and something darker that made my wolf stir. “Who are you running from boy?” he growled. His voice was low and rough like gravel under boots. His grip tightened on my arm hard enough to bruise. I gasped for air and forced words out even though my throat felt tight. “Please. I am nothing. Just a slave omega. Let me go and I will disappear. You will never see me again I swear it.”

" 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. It's because of this. "Hydra."

Their arms were so long they used them to walk along with their two legs, like the gorillaens I had once seen in the zoo back at Coven Community. These beasts had huge heads like wolves, fangs as long as my arm, their eyes were snake-like, and their huge bodies had thick muscles designed by a map of veins. They had long scorpion tails. These were monsters that have never been heard of or seen in the history of Mistworld. They didn't look like demons either. I'd read about all the types of demons, so I was certain these weren't demons. "What in Zhyrie's name are these things from?" I muttered to myself in horror.

Thorne pointed out, "but it's like having another identity with memories and a life of its own. My hound allows me to see his memories at times. I know that he was a guard of Tartarus." At this, Julian's head whipped in Thorne's direction with interest, "As in the prison of the underworld mentioned in Greek Mythology?" Thorne nodded, "You'd be surprised how many myths actually hold some facts to them. The place is reserved for the supernaturals that are the worst of the worst."

Many ages ago. Greece. It was from the Greek gods. Between the period when Greek gods reigned over earth and heaven. Evil creatures generated inside Gaia, fled from their prison and released the titans, after that, they marched to invest and kidnap the gods of Olympus, Zeus and the other gods were imprisoned starting a great battle, which culminated in a great destruction, leading to numerous casualties between skirmishes that destroyed cities.
