Typhon (Tythoei, Typhaon), Greek - a giant with a hundred dragon heads and the voice of a man, a dog and a bull.

Ancient artists depicted Typhon less often than other monsters, and they solved the technical difficulties that arose by reducing the number of heads. On vases and figurines it sometimes looks completely single-headed, but with wings. Sometimes Typhon is considered a three-headed demon from the pediment of the archaic temple of Athena on the Acropolis (c. 570 BC). The terracotta “Typhon from Capua” dates back to approximately the same time. The "Tomb of Typhon" in Etruscan Tarquinia (c. 80 BC) takes its name from the image of Typhon in the fresco painting of the tomb.

The name Typhon actually means “whirlwind”, “tornado”. From English form This Greek word gave rise to the word “typhoon”, which has taken root in many languages ​​(actually, complete nonsense as performed by a Czech journalist: in fact, “typhoon” comes from the Chinese “tyfen” - “strong wind”).

Typhon

Typhon- a powerful monster generated by Gaia; the personification of the fiery forces of the earth and its vapors, with their destructive actions.

According to one version of the myth, Typhon was born of Gaia and Tartarus, according to another, the goddess Hera gave birth to him by hitting the ground with her hand. She did this in revenge against Zeus, who himself gave birth to Athena. Typhon was raised by Python - huge snake, born of the earth goddess Gaia. Typhon is presented in legends as a creature with a hundred dragon heads, a human-like body covered with feathers, and instead of legs the monster had snake rings. Some sources report that Typhon's heads are similar to those of humans, but he can reproduce the cries of animals.

The Iliad mentions the struggle of Typhon with Zeus and his stay in the underground depths, in the country of the Arima or under Mount Arima (in Asia Minor); later, when the volcanic properties of the Cumae coast in Italy, the Aeolian Islands and Sicily became known to the Greeks, the monstrous giant Typhon was transferred to these areas.

Typhon and Echidna gave birth to many terrible creatures: the Chimera, the Lernaean Hydra, the dogs Orphus and Cerberus. This creature, born of chaos, carried within itself a huge destructive force. The word “typhoon” comes from his name. Typhon, crossing the Aegean Sea, scattered the islands of the Cyclades, which had previously been closely located. The fiery breath of the monster reached the island of Fer and destroyed its entire western half, and turned the rest into a scorched desert. The island has since taken on a crescent shape. Giant waves raised by Typhon reached the island of Crete and destroyed the kingdom of Minos.

Olympian gods, frightened by the monster, fled from their monastery. Zeus alone, the bravest of the young gods, decided to fight Typhon. The duel lasted a long time; in the heat of battle, the opponents moved from Greece to Syria. Here Typhon plowed the earth with his gigantic body; subsequently, these traces of the battle filled with water and became rivers. Zeus pushed Typhon north and threw him into the Ionian Sea, near the Italian coast. The Thunderer incinerated the monster with lightning and cast him into Tartarus.

According to another legend, Typhon first defeated Zeus. He entangled the god with his legs, like snake coils, and cut and pulled out all the tendons. Typhon then threw Zeus into the Corycian cave in Cilicia and placed the dragon Delphine to guard him. Zeus was imprisoned until Hermes and Aegipan stole the god's sinews from Typhon and returned them to the Thunderer. Then the enraged god attacked the monster again, and the battle continued.

Zeus was helped by the Moirai, who advised Typhon to eat the fruits of a poisonous ephemera to increase his strength. Following this advice, Typhon completely lost his strength, and Zeus crushed the monster with a huge boulder. Volcano Etna was formed at this place. Legends say that sometimes Typhon, remembering his defeat, spews smoke and flame from the crater of the volcano. Later Typhon was identified with the Egyptian Set, the god of Sirocco, death, devastation, solar and lunar eclipse and other misfortunes.
