Greek mythology is filled with terrifying creatures that challenged heroes and gods alike. The Minotaur, a half-man, half-bull beast, was trapped in the labyrinth by King Minos, while the Hydra regrew its heads whenever one was cut off. Medusa, with her snake-covered head, could turn anyone who looked at her into stone.
These monsters were often defeated by legendary heroes such as Perseus, Heracles, and Theseus, proving their bravery and cunning. Their tales continue to be retold in books, movies, and folklore worldwide.
