It must be fate - picking mine up today!

From todays Metro
In Greek mythology, the Chimera was a fire-breathing monster that came from Lycia in Asia Minor.
She was a sister of Cerberus - the three headed dog that guarded the gates to Hades - and the Lernaean Hydra, the many-headed serpent slain by Heracles.
(And this is the bit I'm worried about)
In the Illiad, Homer describes the Chimera as being a lion at the front, a snake at the rear, and a fire breathing goat in the middle.

Erk! clap

Breathing fire from where, if the head is a lion? Out of it's arse presumably.

Seems Iliad was in favour of a full decat and Cherry Bombs then!
