A female dragon named Delphyne ( δελφύς: womb ), who is obviously connected with Delphi and Apollo Delphinios, and a male serpent Typhon ( τύφειν: smoke ), the adversary of Zeus in the Titanomachy, who the narrators confused with Python.

Capricornus is also sometimes identified as Pan, the god with a goat's head, who saved himself from the monster Typhon by giving himself a fish's tail and diving into a river.

Even some conservative editors have concluded that the Typhon episode ( 820 – 68 ) is an interpolation.

Typhon the enemy of the Olympian gods is described as a vast grisly monster with a hundred heads and a hundred serpents issuing from his thighs, who was conquered and cast into Tartarus by Zeus, or confined beneath volcanic regions, where he is the cause of eruptions.

Typhon is thus the chthonic figuration of volcanic forces.

The Typhon has a curved snout, long, rectangular ears, a forked tail, and canine body ; sometimes, Set is depicted as a human with only the head of the Set animal.

A myth reported as " Egyptian " in Gaius Julius Hyginus ' Poetic Astronomy that would seem to be invented to justify a connection of Pan with Capricorn says that when Aegipan — that is Pan in his goat-god aspect — was attacked by the monster Typhon, he dove into the Nile ; the parts above the water remained a goat, but those under the water transformed into a fish.

Joseph Eddy Fontenrose suggests that for Nonnus Campe is a Greek refiguring of Tiamat and that " she is Echidna under another name, as Nonnos indicates, calling her Echidnaean Enyo, identifying her snaky legs with Echidna's ", and " a female counterpart of his Typhon ".

The lion is usually considered to have been the offspring of Typhon ( or Orthrus ) and Echidna ; it is also said to have fallen from the moon as the offspring of Zeus and Selene, or alternatively born of the Chimera.

Typhon is finally defeated by Zeus, who traps him underneath Mount Etna.

It was in Cilicia that Zeus battled with the ancient monster and overcame him, in a more complicated story: It was not an easy battle, and Typhon temporarily overcame Zeus, cut the " sinews " from him and left him in the " leather sack ", the korukos that is the etymological origin of the korukion andron, the Korykian or Corycian Cave in which Zeus suffers temporary eclipse as if in the Land of the Dead.

Once conquered by Zeus ' thunderbolts, Typhon was cast into Tartarus, the common destiny of many such archaic adversaries, or he was confined beneath Mount Aetna ( Pindar, Pythian Ode 1. 19 – 20 ; Aeschylus, Prometheus Bound 370 ), where " his bed scratches and goads the whole length of his back stretched out against it ", or in other volcanic regions, where he is the cause of eruptions.

Typhon is thus the chthonic figuration of volcanic forces, as Hephaestus ( Roman Vulcan ) is their " civilized " Olympian manifestation.

Typhon is also the father of hot dangerous storm winds which issue forth from the stormy pit of Tartarus, according to Hesiod.

Typhon may be derived from the Greek τύφειν ( typhein ), to smoke, hence it is considered to be a possible etymology for the word typhoon, supposedly borrowed by the Persians ( as طوفان Tufân ) and Arabs to describe the cyclonic storms of the Indian Ocean.

In the Orphic tradition, Typhon leads the Titans when they attack and kill Dionysus, just as Set is responsible for the murder of Osiris.

Later, when Zeus overcame the monster Typhon, the offspring of Tartarus and Gaia, he threw the monster into the same pit.

Enyo so delighted in warfare that she even refused to take sides in the battle between Zeus and the monster Typhon:

Typhon (;, Tuphōn, ), also Typhoeus (, Tuphōeus ), Typhaon (, Tuphaōn ) or Typhos (, Tuphōs ) was the last son of Gaia, fathered by Tartarus, and the most deadly monster of Greek mythology.

In the alternative account of the origin of Typhon ( Typhoeus ), the Homeric Hymn to Apollo makes the monster Typhaon at Delphi a son of archaic Hera in her Minoan form, produced out of herself, like a monstrous version of Hephaestus or Mars, and whelped in a cave in Cilicia and confined there in the enigmatic Arima, or land of the Arimoi, en Arimois ( Iliad, ii.

In Greek Mythology, the deadly monster Typhon was trapped under this mountain by Zeus, the god of the sky and thunder and god of gods and creator of mankind, and the forges of Hephaestus were said to also be located underneath it.

When in Nonnus ' fourth-or fifth-century CE Dionysiaca the vast monster Typhon boasts that he will bathe in " starry Eridanus ", it is hyperbole, for the constellation Eridanus, represented as a river, was one of the 48 constellations listed by the second-century astronomer Ptolemy ; it remains one of the 88 modern constellations.

Typhon overcomes Zeus in their first battle, and tears out Zeus ' sinews.

From its first reappearance, the Hittite myth of Illuyankas has been seen as a prototype of the battle of Zeus and Typhon.

However, using an extended definition of Centaurs, as the objects on unstable orbits with the perihelion inside the orbit of Neptune, the first binary centaur, 42355 Typhon ( previously known as ), was identified in 2006.

The Hittite texts were introduced in 1930 by W. Porzig, who first made the comparison of Teshub's battle with Illuyankas with the sky-god Zeus ' battle with serpent-like Typhon, told in Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheke ( I. 6. 3 ); the Hittite-Greek parallels found few adherents at the time, the Hittite myth of the castration of the god of heaven by Kumarbi, with its clearer parallels to Greek myth, not having yet been deciphered and edited.

Osiris was then murdered by his evil brother Typhon, who was identified with Set.

* Enceladus: Killed by his grandniece, Athena, and buried underneath Mount Etna, like Typhon, on Sicily.

When she and her mate attacked the Olympians, Zeus beat them back and punished Typhon by sealing him under Mount Etna.

Echidna was the mother by Typhon of many monstrous offspring, including:

Also included as the offspring of Echidna by Typhon, by some, are the Sphinx and the Nemean lion.

Ladon, the dragon which guarded the golden apples in the Garden of the Hesperides, was also born of Echidna by Typhon, according to Apollodorus, and Hyginus, but according to Hesiod, Ladon was the offspring of Ceto and Phorcys.

In Greek mythology, Orthrus ( Orthros ) or Orthus ( Orthos ) () was a two-headed dog and a doublet (" brother ") of Cerberus, both whelped by the chthonic monsters Echidna and Typhon.

Typhon fathered several children by his niece, Echidna, daughter of Phorcys and Ceto:

Likewise, the rumblings of Typhon emitted from deepest Tartarus could be clearly heard within the underground torrent near Seleuceia, now in Turkey, until his presence was neutralized by the building of a Byzantine church nearby.

Since Herodotus, Typhon has been identified by some scholars with the Egyptian Set.

Furthermore, the slaying of Typhon by Zeus bears similarities to the killing of Vritra by Indra ( a deity also associated with lightning and storms ), and possibly the two stories are ultimately derived from a common Indo-European source.
