Typhon,
Demon of the
Whirlwind, was the
offspring of
Tartarus and
Gaea. Larger and stronger than the
seas, Typhon was by far the most
fearsome monster ever
born, and the
father of some of the most famous monsters ever. With his
mother, Gaea, he
sired the
Dragon at Colchis. With
Echidna,
grandaughter of
Medusa, he fathered
Cerberus,
Chimera, the
Eagle of Prometheus,
Hydra,
Nemean Lion,
The Sphinx, and
Orthrus.
