Hippogriff

In Ancient Greek folklore, the **hippogriff**, or sometimes spelled **hippogryph** (Greek: Ἱππόγρυπας), is a legendary creature which has the front half of an eagle and the hind half of a horse.

The second recorded mention of the hippogriff was made by the Latin poet Virgil in his *Eclogues*. Though sometimes depicted during the Classical Era and during the rule of the Merovingians, it was used by Ludovico Ariosto in his *Orlando Furioso*, at the beginning of the 16th century. Within the poem, the hippogriff is a steed born of a mare and a griffin—it is extremely fast and is presented as being able to fly around the world and to the Moon. It is ridden by magicians and the wandering knight Ruggiero, who, from the creature's back, frees the beautiful Angelica. Astolfo also borrows the hippogriff from Bradamante to go search for Roland's wits.

Sometimes depicted on coats of arms, the hippogriff became a subject of visual art in the 19th century, when it was often drawn by Gustave Doré.

## Early references

The hippogriff is a symbol of the Greek god Apollo, either through his connection to the Muses or as god of the sun. Buonarotti is stated to have believed that the worship of Apollo, and with him the symbol of the hippogriff, came to the Greeks from cultures to the east.

Of the heraldic representations of the hippogriff, Arthur Charles Fox-Davies states that hybrid fantastical creatures' depictions are "ugly, inartistic, and unnecessary. Their representation leaves one with a disappointed feeling of crudity of draughtsmanship." John Vinycomb states that the hippogriff is not used in the British heraldic tradition.

## Beliefs and symbolism

According to Vidal, a Spanish historian, this creature was supposed to live near Céret, in the County of Roussillon of modern-day France, during the Middle Ages. Claw marks were found on a rock near Mas Carol. The belief in the existence of the hippogriff, such as Ariosto describes, is fiercely attacked in a scientific essay on religion in 1862, which argues that such an animal can neither be a divine creation, nor truly exist. The Book of Enoch quite clearly details how Satan and his fallen angels created various hybrids by admixture. The Sphinx is the most well known such hybrid. The hippogriff is supposed to be a mixture of several animals and the author notes that in order to support its weight, the wings would be so heavy that flight would be impossible, which proves—without question—that it does not exist.

In some traditions, the hippogriff is said to be the symbol of love, as its parents, the mare and griffin, are natural enemies. In other traditions, the hippogriff represents Christ's dual nature as both human and divine.

A hippogriff named Buckbeak (subsequently "Witherwings") features prominently in *Harry Potter*.
Emmeline Adel

**Emmeline Adel** was a minor character in the *Scarlet and Ivy* series. She was the best friend of Ida Jane Smith. She was killed by Edgar Bartholomew when he forced her to swim laps in the lake as a punishment and drowned. She was the founder of the original Whispers in the Walls, and was also a Prefect, making her a double agent.

## Appearance

Emmeline had a long, thin face and pale blonde, looking nothing like Scarlet and Ivy Grey,

## Personality

Emmeline is described as a troublemaker, but was usually let off the hook due to being a Prefect. She is also determined, having formed the original Whispers in the Walls to try and take down the headmaster after witnessing his actions.

## Story

### History

During her time at school, Emmeline would meet Ida, whom she befriended. Ida would follow Emmeline everywhere due to admiration, and despite Emmeline usually causing trouble, it was Ida who would take the blame because Emmeline was a Prefect. Emmeline would later form The Whispers in the Walls, a secret group dedicated to exposing Edgar Bartholomew due to the disgusting actions she had witnessed the headmaster had committed.

One day, Emmeline was finally caught causing trouble and was given a punishment from Mr Bartholomew. Emmeline was forced to swim laps in Rookwood School's freezing lake. However, Emmie wasn't a strong swimmer and Mr Bartholomew wouldn't let her out, not let her stop. Eventually, the headmaster let her drown.

### *The Whispers in the Walls*

After her death, the Whispers fell silent, realizing what they were doing was more dangerous than they had initially thought. A fellow student, Cassie Jones, was the only known witness of Emmeline's murder, which another member took upon themselves to write in her prefect book in code, a different one from the initial code that the book had been filled with, with the intent that someday Mr. Bartholomew would be brought to justice for his actions.

## Hisory

### *A Case of Misfortune*

Violet is having a small quarrel with her brother as she's making her business card for her newly founded business, Veil Investigations. When she is finished, she heads out to the front windows of her family's shop and places the card out to display.

After a week, a young lady with long black hair wearing an outfit not fit for a graveyard enters the shop. The lady asks to speak to Violet Veil and the two discuss her case.

The lady introduces herself as Miss Li, and she pulls out a golden necklace to show Violet. Miss Li reveals that her father had given her the golden necklace as a symbol of protection, but she threw it away when her father passed away. Zhen, Li's sister, was furious, but Li was relieved that the necklace had disappeared until the prophecy came true.

Miss Li reveals that her sister Zhen married Barnaby Campbell, a bank employee in the Havisham area. Lady Athena, an entertainer at the nearby Grecian Theatre, used her "spirit guide" to interpret Zhen's fortune and predicted that Li would discover the necklace. The jewellery shows up beside Li's bedside the following morning, but Violet proposes suggestions on how it may have returned. Li believes it shouldn't have been possible since she threw the necklace into her father's grave.

Violet is shocked but collects herself and asks questions. Li answers truthfully, and Violet decides to get to the bottom of the case. Li thanks Violet for her time and lets her keep the necklace for the case before exiting the shop.

Stymphalian birds

The **Stymphalian birds** (/stɪmˈfeɪliən/ *stim-FAY-lee-ən*; Greek: Στυμφαλίδες Όρνιθες, *Stymfalídes Órnithes*) are a group of voracious birds in Greek mythology. The birds' appellation is derived from their dwelling in a swamp in Stymphalia

## Characteristics

The Stymphalian Birds are man-eating birds with beaks of bronze, sharp metallic feathers they could launch at their victims, and poisonous dung.

These fly against those who come to hunt them, wounding and killing them with their beaks. All armour of bronze or iron that men wear is pierced by the birds; but if they weave a garment of thick cork, the beaks of the Stymphalian birds are caught in the cork garment, just as the wings of small birds stick in bird-lime. These birds are of the size of a crane, and are like the ibis, but their beaks are more powerful, and not crooked like that of the ibis.
These birds were pets of Artemis, the goddess of the hunt; or had been brought up by Ares, the god of war. They migrated to a marsh in Arcadia to escape a pack of wolves. There they bred quickly and swarmed over the countryside, destroying crops, fruit trees, and townspeople.

### The Sixth Labour of Heracles

The Stymphalian birds were defeated by Heracles (Hercules) in his sixth labour for Eurystheus. Heracles could not go into the marsh to reach the nests of the birds, as the ground would not support his weight. Athena, noticing the hero's plight, gave Heracles a rattle called *krotala*, which Hephaestus had made especially for the occasion. Heracles shook the krotala (similar to castanets) on a certain mountain that overhung the lake and thus frightening the birds into the air.Heracles then shot many of them with feathered arrows tipped with poisonous blood from the slain Hydra. The rest flew far away, never to plague Arcadia again. Heracles brought some of the slain birds to Eurystheus as proof of his success.

The surviving birds made a new home on an island of Aretias in the Euxine Sea. The Argonauts later encountered them there.

According to Mnaseas, they were not birds, but women and daughters of Stymphalus and Ornis, and were killed by Heracles because they did not receive him hospitably. In the temple of the Stymphalian Artemis, however, they were represented as birds, and behind the temple there were white marble statues of maidens with birds' feet.

### *The Lost Twin*

During Miss Fox and Miss Finch's bickering, Ariadne takes the chance and looks through Miss Fox's drawer, finding an open file overfilled with papers and a glass keepsake box. Hiding underneath was a folded photograph. It contained a young girl whom Ivy identified as Miss Fox. She was standing by a pram, which contained Rebecca as a baby. What was the most interesting was the background, a tall building behind giant iron gates and a sign. The sign read 'Rosemoor Asylum for Young Females'. Suddenly, everything clicked for Ivy and she knew where Scarlet was being held. Ivy begged Miss Finch to take her there, but Miss Finch said they must wait to consult with the police first. Miss Finch promises to take her there the next day.

The following morning, Miss Finch and Ivy take a train to Rosemoor Asylum, where they are greeted by the gatekeeper to let them in. Inside is a woman with a blonde bob haircut. When she is given the name 'Scarlet Grey', she goes looking for the name in her book but finds nothing. Ivy vents out, to which the woman gasps and spills her coffee. She asks Ivy if she's a twin, to which she escorts her down the hallway. She leads Ivy to the outside, stating that it's faster this way. Ivy continues down the path and finds herself in a courtyard with a fountain in the centre. Ivy heads towards the doors before something stops her in her tracks. Her reflection. Ivy steps forward and puts her hand on the glass. The reflection doesn't move for a bit, but she eventually puts her hands on the glass to match her twin's.

### Story

Violet caught Bones' attention while he was perusing the gravestones in Seven Gates Graveyard. After that, he refused to leave her side. He occasionally received some leftovers from Violet, who eventually pleaded with her mother to allow her to keep him. After her mother declined, Violet questioned her father, who said that it might be possible. Violet's mother finally gave in but also had Bones spend the night outside.

For two weeks, Bones slept at the base of a stone cross just outside the family's back wall. After the third week, Violet's mother felt sympathy for him and allowed him to sleep in the backyard. A few days later, he was permitted entry into the family's home and frequently spent time in Violet's bedroom. Bones was now Violet's faithful companion, at least when he wasn't preoccupied with one of his canine vices like tracking squirrels or gnawing on shoes.

Scarlet and Ivy

**Rose Fitzwarren** is a character from the *Scarlet and Ivy* series. She was a former patient at Rosemoor Asylum and is a current student at Rookwood School. She made her debut in *The Whispers in the Walls*.

Once trapped in Rosemoor Asylum, she met Violet, whom she befriended. When Miss Finch came to rescue Violet, Rose was taken back with Violet to Rookwood. There, she was hidden in a secret stairwell in the library until it got burned down by Mr Bartholomew in *The Whispers in the Walls*.

## Appearance

Rose is sometimes described as small, and she has long, light blonde hair and blue eyes. Her skin is very pale, and was initially mistaken for a ghost.

## Personality

Rose is extremely timid around most people, and usually avoids speaking. This is likely due to her trauma. She has a close bond with Violet Adams, and is more open with her. As the series progresses, Rose slowly opens up more, specifically after the event of *The Lights Under the Lake*, when she could be open about her past.

## History

### Story

Rose came from a wealthy family and was the heiress to a fortune. She was unwanted by her family, who wanted to get rid of her because of her issues. They believed that if Rose were to be removed from the picture, Rose's cousin would make a better heir. Rose's family kept her locked away at Rosemoor Asylum, pretended she didn't exist, and stopped anyone from coming to see her. While at the asylum, Rose met Violet Adams, and the two became friends as Rose was the only one who would talk to Violet. When Violet heard of Rose's story, she knew she had to get out of there and take Rose with her.

Cerberos

Kerberos (in Greek, Russie, in Latin, Cerberus) is a three-headed dog that guards the entrance to the underworld. By other accounts, he guarded the underworld above all from the entry of the living.

He is portrayed with three heads, a dragon's tail, with snakes on his heads instead of fur. He was later credited with a hundred heads, poisonous breath and a multitude of snakeheads on his necks. But the number of Kerber's heads is unclear. Hesiodos only says he has countless. As a triple-headed, it is most commonly cited only in Roman mythology. Kerberos saw the light of day only once, when he was led out of the underworld by Heracles in the pursuit of the twelfth task. Mycenaean King Eurysthea asked Heracles to bring him Kerber. With the help of the gods, Heracles had reached the underworld, had been kindly received by Hades itself. He allowed him to catch Kerber on the condition that he could do it with his bare hands. Kerberos fought back ferociously, but after Heracles' strong grip he promised obedience and followed him to Mycenae. When King Eurystheus saw the terrible guardian of the underworld, Kerber, he fell to his knees in front of Heracles and begged to take the monster back.

Only Orpheus bewitched Kerber with his singing, and Aeneas and some other selectors allowed by the gods to enter the underworld soothed him with honey pie.

Kerberos was the model for the three-headed dog, Hazel J. K. Rowling in Harry Potter.
Chimera

In Greek mythology, Chimera (Latin Chimaera, Greek Chimaira) is the daughter of the ancient giant Typhon and Echidna, half woman, half snake. She is a fantastic monster herself.
The chimera looked like a lion in front, a wild goat in the middle, and a dragon in the back. Her three mouths blazed with fire. According to Greek myths, she lived in Lycia, specifically in the volcanic gorge of Krag. There she guarded the entrance to the underworld. She immediately felt the man, climbed out of her lair, and spewed fire at him. It is no longer known about her specific victims, but it is known that she was killed by Bellerofontés, who flew on a winged horse to Pégas and hit Chimera with several deadly arrows from a safe height. The first arrow only wounded her, attacking him again with the fire of her three mouths, pounding the dragon's tail, jumping high behind him until the ground shook and the rocks cracked. But Bellerophon put lead on the tip of his spear, which melted in the monster's fiery maw and burned its entrails.

The word chimera remains in the modern dictionary as a synonym for delusion, vision, delusion, something unreal.
