in Greek mythology, was a monster produced by Typhon and Echidna. It is generally represented as a lioness, with a second head, that of a goat, projecting from the back, and the tail that of a dragon. Bellerophon was commanded by king Jobates, in Lycia, to battle with the monster, which was only possible with the assistance of Minerva. The goddess gave to the courageous youth the winged horse Pegasus, by the aid of which the Chimera was overcome.
