I asked AI to generate Ancient Creatures in Greek Mythology & this is what happened!

So one day I sitting by my laptop and wondering that what does #ancient #creatures of #greekmythology in todays’ era looks like, so I used the help of #midjourney which is an independent research lab that produces an #artificialintelligence program that generates #images from natural language descriptions, called “prompts”, is speculated that the underlying #technology is based on #stablediffusion

1. The “Father of all Monsters”. #typhon was the last child of Gaia, fathered by Tartarus, and is considered the most powerful and deadliest of all creatures in Greek mythology. His appearance would be accompanied by a devastating storm and his true form was thus hard to be described accurately. Some say he had a human-like upper half and others that instead of one head he had a hundred dragon heads.
His bottom half consisted of gigantic viper coils which made a hissing noise. He had huge wings and fire flashed from his eyes. Typhon was a monster that even the Olympians were afraid of. His mate was Echidna, with whom he fathered many famous monsters of Greek mythology. Together, they once attacked the Olympian Gods but lost. Zeus, the King of the Olympians, confronted Typhon by throwing 100 lightning bolts on him and trapped him under Mount Etna in Sicily.

3. The #griffin was a beast with the head and wings of an eagle and the body of a lion. A tribe of the creatures guarded rich deposits of gold in the mountains of Skythia (Scythia) in north-eastern Europe. Their one-eyed neighbours, the Arimaspians, battled them for these riches. In medieval heraldry, the griffin became a Christian symbol of divine power and a guardian of the divine.

4. #medusa “guardian, protectress”, the most famous of the #monster figures also known as Gorgons. She was usually represented as a winged female creature having a head of hair consisting of snakes; those who gazed into her eyes would turn to stone. Most sources describe her as the daughter of Phorcys and Ceto, although the author Hyginus makes her the daughter of Gorgon and Ceto. . Medusa was the only Gorgon who was mortal; hence her slayer, Perseus, was able to kill her by cutting off her head. From the blood that spurted from her neck sprang Chrysaor and Pegasus, her two sons by Poseidon. The severed head, which had the power of turning into stone all who looked upon it, was given to Athena, who placed it in her shield; according to another account, Perseus buried it in the marketplace of Argos.

5. The #gorgons were three deadly sisters whose hair was made of living, venomous snakes and they could turn anyone into stone just by looking into their eyes. The famous sisters were Stheno, Euryale and Medusa. Medusa is definitely the most famous and notorious among her kind. According to some accounts, she was not always a terrifying monster but a beautiful priestess at the Temple of Athena.
The God of the Seas, Poseidon, raped her and Athena punished her (since she couldn’t punish Poseidon) by turning her into that ugly creature.

6. The #sirens were humanlike beings with alluring voices; a creature half bird and half woman. They were living in the seas. Their power lay in their upper body appearance: they were beautiful, young women and had a charming voice when they sang. They used their singing to lure sailors who were passing by their island and slaughter them. The great hero Odysseus (Ulysses), clever as he was, sealed his sailors’ ears with wax and bound himself to the mast of his ship, to enjoy himself the beautiful song of the Sirens, without getting in the temptation of following the seductive Sirens.

7. #scylla was the daughter of Forky and Kitos, once a beautiful Nymph that the god Poseidon longed for. The jealous Amphitrite, Poseidon’s partner, turned her into a monster, poisoning her bathing water. A supernatural female creature, with 12 feet and six heads on long snaky necks, each head having a triple row of shark like teeth, while her loins were girdled by the heads of baying dogs. From her lair in a cave she devoured whatever ventured within reach, including six of Odysseus’s companions. She haunted the rocks of a narrow strait opposite the whirlpool of another terrible monster, Charybdis. In Odyssey, Odysseus’s (Ulysses) ship passes through the strait, after losing six of his men who were eaten alive by the monster.
