Venomous, Lioness, Chimera, Devious Doe and Noble Offspring   A “Chimera” is a Greek monster with traits of the lion, the goat, and the serpent. The Chimera was one of the most outlandish monsters in Greek mythology, but surprisingly its description changed very little over the course of the centuries. Artists included the three heads, each coming from the part of the body that corresponded with the animal type. Rather than growing near one another the creature had a typical lion’s head, a goat’s head growing out of its back, and a snake’s head at the end of its tail. Exaggerated ears and breasts show that the creature is female, even though it does have a short, ragged mane. This was typical in Greek art, where a “lioness“ was shown with a mane. The Chimera can still be identified as female in art, however, because its ears are showing. The convention in the art of the time was to show females with shorter, sparser manes
