“Chimera”的意思、由来-百科全书

Chimera

Greek mythology

in Greek mythology, a fire-breathing female monster resembling a lion in the forepart, a goat in the middle, and a dragon behind. She devastated Caria and Lycia until she was slain by Bellerophon. In art the Chimera is usually represented as a lion with a goat's head in the middle of its back and with a tail that ends in a snake's head. This matches the description found in Hesiod's Theogony (7th century BC). The word is now used generally to denote a fantastic idea or figment of the imagination.

Chimera, or chimère, in architecture, is a term loosely used for any grotesque, fantastic, or imaginary beast used in decoration.
