My father Daedalus and I were imprisoned in a labyrinth he
himself designed. To escape he made wings for us both and off we
flew. I ignored his advice and went to close to the sun, which
melted the wax holding the wings to my shoulders.
I plummeted to my death into the sea.

I am the son of Creon. When he condemned my betrothed Antigone
to death I committed suicide. Although, it has been said that
my death was due to being eaten by the Sphinx and that my dad
was offering his kingdom to the one that avenged my death
by killing it. Sounds like a cover up to me.

Haemon Haemus
Halmus Hellen

I was a 'special' friend to Apollo. Whilst practising throwing
the discus, one of the Winds (jealous of the friendship) sent a gust,
causing the discus to strike me on the head killing me. So I would
not be forgotton, Apollo transformed the blood that flowed
from the wound into a new flower.

I was a shepherd, and used to sing and play the lyre whilst
looking after my flocks. I foolishly ignored some sound advice from
Pan, also I put it about that the nymphs were not daughters of Gods.
My sheep perished and the nymphs had their revenge. I was turned
into a stag beetle, with enormous horns in the shape of a lyre.

During the Trojan War I became known as the principal defender
of Troy. Many tried to kill me, but it was Achilles that dealt the
mortal blow. He then attached my corpse to his chariot and dragged it
round the city for all to see. It was then exposed to dogs and
vultures before being buried by my father Priam.

I died when I accidently stepped on a poisonous snake, due to

Hades, impressed with his gallantry agreed to let me go,
on the condition he did not look back as we left.

I was loved by Zeus, and by him conceived Dionysus. As my lover

Hera to ask him to come to me in all his glory,
thunderbolts an' all. Which he did
Whoops! I immediately burnt to death.

I am half man, half animal of monsterous proportions.
Instead of fingers I have 100 dragons heads, I have snakes
encircling my waist and eyes that shoot out flames.
I attacked Olympus and Zeus retaliated. He threw thunderbolts,
I hurled mountains back. It was a right noisy 'carry on'.
I was finally crushed underneath Mount Etna.

I met my death in battle, at the moment when I had driven
