AND GODS inform this episode, beginning with the six-tusked elephant who dwelt on the Golden Mountain and foretold the birth of the Buddha. Primordial beings in a Legendary age generated later generations of sui generis creatures. For example, many of the most distinctive players in Hellenic lore Greek were descendants of Typhon, the most deadly monster of Greek mythology, according to some authorities. He, Typhon, was the last son of Gaia, fathered by Tartarus. This tentacular mountain-sized beast is known as the “Father of All Monsters.” Instead of a human head, a hundred Ghidorah-like dragon heads erupted from Typhon's neck and shoulders. His wife, Echidna, Mrs. Typhon, half woman and half snake, was likewise, and symmetrically, the “Mother of All Monsters.” Together, this couple in their time raised some of the most well-known monsters and creatures in all of legendry. To mention only a few-- Orthrus, a fearsome two-headed hound that lived with giants, not to be confused with Ray Harryhausen's Dioskilos, the Sphinx, a half-human, half-lion who would slay anybody who did not answer his-her riddles (Sphinxes partake of both sexes and have both male and female genitals and female breasts), who, when Oedipus was able to answer a riddle correctly, is said to have jumped into the ocean in a fit of rage and drowned, the Nemean Lion, a gigantic felid with impenetrable skin that eventually became the star constellation Leo... There are numerous descendants of Typhon, including Cerberus, the three-headed dog that guarded the entrance to Hades. And forget not Ladon. That's the name of that serpentiform dragon (drakon) who guards the golden apples in the Garden of the Hesperides, coiled around the bole of the Garden's central Tree and associate of the two devastatingly beautiful, naked Daughters of the Hesperides.
