In Greek mythology the Chimaera was a fire breathing creature with the body of a lion, a goats head from its back and a serpent as a tail… hence the term Chimaera (or even Chimera) is used commonly to refer to something that is a bit of a mixture of various things…



EDIT - Oh, and that was paraphrased from a dictionary of etymology.

Chimaera (kye-MEE-ruh)

Fire-breathing monster slain by the hero Bellerophon; related to Cerberus and the Hydra. The Chimaera was part lion, part goat and part snake, although accounts differed as to how these parts were assembled. King Iobates of Lycia sent Bellerophon after the beast in the expectation that the hero would never return. But with the help of the gods and the flying horse Pegasus, Bellerophon rid Lycia of its multiple monster.
