Of all the children of all the primordial beings and titans, none were more powerful than Typhon. Also known as Typhoeus, Typhaon or Typhos, he came closer than any other being to defeating Zeus, all-time supreme ruler of the cosmos. Not including Kratos, of course.
He was the son of Gaia and Tartarus itself, literally spawn of hell. His wife was Echidna, and with her sired almost all of Greek Mythology's most iconic monsters: Cerberus, the Sphinx, the Lernaean Hydra, Scylla, the Chimera, the Nemean Lion, even the eagle which ate Prometheus' liver each night.
He was born with a single purpose, to overthrow Zeus. His march on Olympus sent all gods into terrified flight. But Zeus and Nike held fast, and their battle rocked the world. The seas were burnt up, mountains toppled and drenched in blood, the land shattered. Zeus was very nearly defeated but with the help of the Satyr god Pan, eventually overcame Typhon, who ended up imprisoned below a volcano which spits out fire to this day.

Another example of storm gods and giant serpentine beings really not getting along in ancient mythology.

Sir, your Latin and Old Greek are on point, may I ask how you learn them so well?

[@AntiquityforAll]

Thank you! Four years of intensive study and a lot of practice since, no hidden secrets I’m afraid! And I still have a lot to learn

[@eduardmanecuta5350]

@@AntiquityforAll I thank you for your feedback si first and foremost. I have no doubt that you work hard for it. I will hold you for a moment still sir. Did you start with grammar first? Did you had a teacher? What was your method. How you approached the target language?

[@eduardmanecuta5350]

@@AntiquityforAll I hope that I don't disturbe you with my insistence. But I see the results of your work sir and that gives me convidence that if I know your apeoach method, I can achieve the same result. If I disturbed you with my insistence, I present you my apologies.
