    According to Greek mythology, the Chimera, Chimaera, or Chimæra ( / kaɪˈmɪərə, kɪ -/ ky-MEER-ə, kih-; Ancient Greek: Xίμαιρα, romanized : Chímaira, lit. 'she-goat') was a monstrous fire-breathing hybrid creature from Lycia, Asia Minor, composed of different animal parts.
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimera_(mythology)
    The Chimera was a hybrid monster, comprising parts of a lion, a goat, and a snake. The earliest description of the creature comes from Homer’s Iliad, where it is said that the Chimera was “in the fore part a lion, in the hinder a serpent, and in the midst a goat, breathing forth in terrible wise the might of blazing fire.”

    However, the chimera does not appear to have an existence in physical reality, save for the individual animals from which it is composed. The most common description of the chimera comes from Homer 's Iliad, in which the creature is said to have the head, and legs of a lion, the body of a goat, and tail of a snake.
    From ancient Greek art to modern works of speculative fiction, the Chimera continues to inspire awe and fascination. In Greek art, the Chimera was often portrayed on pottery and other artistic mediums. These depictions showcased the creature’s ferociousness and the unique combination of its lion, goat, and snake features.
