who was the mother of monsters in greek mythos
See More Echidna Pictures >. Echidna was a half-woman, half-snake creature in Greek mythology, also known as the mother of all monsters, as she gave birth to most of the Greek mythical creatures. She was the wife of Typhon, who was the father of all monsters and the most fearsome and dangerous monster in said mythology. Both she and her husband were the children of Gaia and Tartarus. The couple attacked the Olympians, but Zeus managed to repel them, burying Typhon under Mount Etna; Echidna and her children were spared to continue challenging future heroes.
