CREATURES & TITANS:
These are the ones we are up against yo`
The Chimera, Pronounced (Kimaira) in Greek Mythology, was a monstrous fire-breathing female creature of Lycia in Asia Minor, composed of the parts of multiple animals: upon the body of a lioness with a tail that ended in a snake's head, the head of a goat arose on her back at the center of her spine. The Chimera was one of the offspring of Typhon and Echidna and a sibling of such monsters as Cerberus and the Hydra. The term chimera is used to describe any mythical animal with parts taken from various animals.
Kronos is the Greek Titan of Time and was the leader and the youngest of the first generation of the divine descendants of Gaia, Earth, and Ouranus, Heaven known as The Titans. He is the father of Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon. According to mythology, he overthrew his father and ruled until he in turn was overthrown by his own sons and imprisoned in Tartarus.
Kronos is usually depicted with a sickle or scythe, which is also the instrument he is said to have used to castrate and depose Ouranus, his father. A festival called Kronia was held in his honor in Athens, on the twelfth day of the month of Hekatombaion, to celebrate the harvest. This suggests that as a result of his association with the virtuous Golden Age, Kronos continued to preside as a patron of harvest. He can also be identified in classical antiquity with the Roman deity Saturn.
Titans were originally the offspring of Gaia (the Earth-mother) and Ouranos (the Sky-father) and were the first race of divine beings. Kronos and Rhea produced the first generation of Olympians whom Kronos, out of fear of being overthrown, then ate, save Zeus. Zeus killed Kronos and saved his siblings.
At first the relationship between the Olympians and Titans were relatively amicable, but eventually the Titanomachy, the war against the Titans, broke out, in which the Titans were finally subdued and punished.
The Minotaur, in Greek Mythology, was a monster of considerable size and strength. Queen Pasiphae of Crete had been inspired by a vengeful god to fall in love with a bull, with the result that the Minotaur was born- a monster half-man and half-bull that haunted the Labyrinth of King Minos, beneath the Palace of Knossos. It was built by Daedalos to contain the Minotaur, and had many traps and puzzles, rendering it impossible for the Minotaur, or the Minotaur's prey to escape from.
The Minotaur was in the centre of the Labyrinth and Minos had men and women taken into the Labyrinth to be eaten by the Minotaur to feed his cannibalistic. The father of the Minotaur was the Cretan Bull. The Minotaur's main weapon was a heavy axe, which was double-headed. It had red glowing eyes and thick, coarse hair that covered his body. The Minotaur also had grey skin. The Minotaur's true name was Asterion, meaning the Starry One. He was ferocious in temper.
The Makhai, in Greek Mythology, are the gods or spirits of battle and combat. They have two upper bodies attached by the backs, and two heads. The Makhai's weapons of choice are four short blade swords, two in each hand, which they use by spinning and changing the side they are facing constantly in battle, as observed in the Wrath of the Titans trailer. They seem to be powerful in battle, as they were seen in the trailer succeeding in attacking a whole army of Greek Soldiers.
The Makhai's skin has a charred and corroded look, and their faces look slightly deformed. There are lines of lava on the Makhai's skin. Both of the heads wear a helmet, but the head on the right wears a helmet with a plume, and is less muscular than the left head. The Makhai's skin seems to be made of volcanic rock, and as the Titans were primal giants, in the movie they may fall under this label. The right upper body wears a loincloth, while the left upper body wears proper leg armor.
