Like the Greek mythology, I want to know the mythology of these fascinating creatures.
Many mythological creatures seem strange at first, but their forms serve a purpose and tell a story.
For example, the chimera has the head of a lion, the tail of a dragon, the body of a goat, and the wings of an eagle. A griffin has the head, wings and claws of an eagle and the body of a lion. Gothic Gargoyles are infinitely varied in their forms and attributes. I will discuss this in future issues of The Gargoyle News. Today I'll tell you about an interesting and unusual figure from a different culture and time.
