If it’s a chimera alert, we just follow the screams.
– Jasper Fforde
The Chimera, according to Greek mythology, was a monstrous fire-breathing hybrid creature, composed of different animal parts. Usually depicted as a lion, with the head of a goat protruding from its back, and a tail that might end with a snake’s head. It was an offspring of Typhon and Echidna and a sibling of such monsters as Cerberus and the Lernaean Hydra. Chimera devastated Caria and Lycia until she was slain by Bellerophon, son of the god Poseidon. Currently, the word chimera is also used to denote a fantastic idea or figment of the imagination or in genetics to describe a single organism composed of cells with more than one distinct genotype. #funfact
