The Mythical Unsung Heros

Evil Loki and Queen Maeve have joined forces to make a mob. All evil creatures that had died before with the powers between them these same creatures will live once more. They raised Medusa the long dead gorgan with Athena's shield, which they had stolen. And given the Cyclops another eye; another thing stolen once belonging to Odin. Fafnir needed a blood transfusion. Ilmarinen, brother of Vainamoinen made a machine that made dragons blood. And fearsome dragon Fafnir rose again. The Minotaur has been brought back to life, strangly enough by the ancient Chiron half man, half horse mentor to many hero's And after removing all of Bellerophon's arrows Chimera with it's serpents tail, raised his head and spit fire all vengeful creatures these revived to continue terrible deeds bringing distruction apon the earth all the dark places that they can lurk A woman scorned without forgiveness turning men to stone her bussiness. The giant with one eye can see again stands tall with boulders ready to pitch it. A dragon who lost his guarded treasure has an anger of equial measure. A bull headed man and the king of the jungle. Both have issues and constantly grumble. A god and a witch seem to have it together. World, get ready for some very terrible weather. (For the Myths contest)

There is a childhood myth or story behind every weather pattern....this is the storyline behind a tornado! lol. As someone who doesn't typically read mythology, perhaps this has peaked my curiosity! Nice strong and frightful images!
