Typhon, the father of all monsters, struck fear into every ancient greek’s heart. His mother was Gaea, the titan of the Earth. His father was Tartarus, the titan of hell. He symbolized fear to the greeks. Typhon and Zeus had a battle that shook the world. Typhon’s parents created him to destroy Zeus and take his place. He eventually attacked the house of the gods but they all fled to Egypt. Athena, Zeus’s daughter called him a coward for fleeing Olympus, so Zeus returned to Olympus to fight Typhon. Zeus severely injured Typhon and chased him to a mountain in Syria. Seeing that Typhon was wounded, he decided to attack him up close. Typhon soon had Zeus trapped in his tentacles. Typhon took Zeus to a cave, where Delphyne, his sister held Zeus captive. Hermes however found Zeus and freed him. He chased Typhon around the world and they eventually arrived in Sicily, where Zeus threw Mount Aetna on Typhon pinning him to the Earth. Typhon has been stuck there ever since. …show more content…

He also gave birth to Cerberus, the three headed dog who guarded the gates of the underworld. He was also known as Hades pet. Typhon also gave birth to The Sphinx and the Nemean lion, who was eventually killed by Hercules. Typhon was feared for a reason. When he stood he could touch the stars. He was the biggest creature in greek mythology by a long shot. He had a head of 100 dragon heads. His bottom half consisted of huge viper coils that when stretched could touch the top of his head. He was so scary that he even struck fear into the hearts of the Olympian gods. In the end, Typhon symbolized fear to the greeks. He was created to destroy Zeus, but Zeus prevailed in their mighty battle. He was the father of all monsters. He was the most feared creature in all of
