His mate is Echidna and both\nwere so fearful that when the gods saw them they changed into animals and\nfled in terror. Typhon's hundred, horrible heads touched the stars, venom\ndripped from his evil eyes, and lava and red-hot stones poured from his\ngaping mouths. Hissing like a hundred snakes and roaring like a hundred\nlions, he tore up whole mountains and threw them at the gods.\nZeus soon regained his courage and turned, and when the other gods saw him\ntaking his stand, they came back to help him fight the monster. A terrible\nbattle raged, and hardly a living creature was left on Earth. But Zeus was\nfated to win, and as Typhon tore up huge Mount Aetna to hurl at the gods,\nZeus struck it with a hundred well-aimed thunderbolts and the mountain fell\nback, pinning Typhon underneath. There the monster lies to this very day,\nbelching fire, lava and smoke through the top of the mountain.\n\nEchidna, his hideous mate, escaped destruction. She cowered in a cave,\nprotecting Typhon's offspring, and Zeus let them live as a challenge to\nfuture heroes. Echidna and Typhon's children are the Nemean Lion, Cerberus,\nLadon, the Chimera, the Sphinx, and the Hydra.\"\n\n\n\nDennis/Endy\nhttp://home.mindspring.com/~endymion9/index.htm\n\n\n*This is WHORL, for discussion of Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun."
