The Hydra Free Verse
The Hydra
A hundred headed beast
Who had an exciting feast
His battle was amazing
He fought the mighty Hercules
At first his ability crushed him
His power made him
Able to have more lives
But with a knife
To cut
And a torch
To destroy
Hercules ended his agony
That is the fall
Of The Hydra
Narrative Poem-
“The Sphinx”
Part human, part lady, part eagle.
No she does not look like a beagle.
She can fly with wings,
A fierce battler with claws.
Destroying people in a battle.
You don’t want to ride her with a saddle.
A mythical creature among the gods.
She is , I tell you the Sphinx.
Monster= Greyon
Poem= Free verse
The monster Greyon
The monster Greyon
Has three bodies and four wings
He was created
To be able
To defeat anyone
Especially Hercules
He lived on Erythia
A western island
He was
Created by Hera
To kill everything
That he met
Except Herclues
Herclueswas the
Only one who
Could beat him
Greyon died
And the world
Went on
With no
3 bodied
Monsters
Forever thirsty.
A terrible beast
that swallows the tides,
along with the ships
that sail opon them.
It spews the water back out
But not the ships and their crew.
The punishment for his crime,
becoming a monster.
All for stealing the cattle
of the great hero, Hercales.
The one and only
wirlpool monster
of he Strait of Messina.
Charybdis.
The Dragon Of Boteotia
there once was a prince named Abas
he disagreed with his father
Abas was on a course
with his horse when he heard
Persephone
Abas found out it was Demeter screaming
for her daughter
He did not know that he
should not make fun of her
She changed the weather to a blizard
And Abas into a lizard
that is the story of how Abas became….
THE DRAGON OF BOEOTIA
Monster Poem:
Part cheetah, part woman
with blazing yellow eyes
white locks and wings
This is Hecate
The goddess of the Dark of the Moon
Medusa Free Verse
Medusa was born in the sea
She was as beautiful as can be
Her sisters were a mess
Her brothers were huge
Her name means wise
Soon was cursed for her beauty
Looked in the mirror
There on her head was snake eyes
She became a monster
Not nice at all
Looked very disgusting
If you look in her eyes you became stone
Medusa is a giant beast
Turned from a girl to a monster
She went from beautiful to hideous
Now waits in her cave for someone else
To attack.
The Sirens
Created by meaningless anger and hate,
A misguided spell made them worse, made them great,
The wings of a hawk made them anew,
Molded dual personalities, one heart that was meant to be two.
New angers, new fears,
New hopes and new tears,
Tore apart, fit together,
And capture in their souls the rain, wind, and weather.
And through their mouths came a song,
Of such beauty and grace,
It led many sailors to a horrible fate.
Though their golden hearts felt horrid and protested,
Their voices refused to be rested,
No more able to stop than the sea in it’s throws,
The rain in its fall, the wind as it blows.
And so a new sadness entered their song,
And gave it more beauty, and yet nothing wrong.
So even more sailors jumped to their deaths,
And still the sirens sang, for their voices would not rest.
narrative
Hercules travled until he came upon a monster
It was the size of ten alligators
There was but one huge head
The monster was called Hydra
So he went to work
Hercules slished slashed and hacked
The head finally fell to the ground
But from the stump two more hads grew
So he cut them off
But for each head lost two more grew
then the heads started to breath fire
So he cut the head off
Then with a stick on fire burned the stump
And no head grew back this time
So he continued this until every head was gone
Finally done the body of hydra fell
It was ove and Hercules had won
The drabne of dole
Is not a doll
She will change because of her powers
She will lock you up in a tower
From the small city of dole
She is as dark as coal
With her mischievous smile
She can melt your eyes for a while
Her small slender hands as white as snow
And be sure to know
She can kill you with one blow
Her hair is as white as snow
Just be sure to not be fooled
That the witch can cool
Your body like ice
Isn’t that nice
Hecate Diamante
Hecate
Torturing, killing
Enemies with Orpheus
Resides in the underworld
She’s Hades assistent
punishing, hurting
Hag

The Nemean Lion
The ferocious Nemean Lion
He is an enormous lion with a golden mane
No weapon can kill him
With his tough skin, no arrow can hurt him
And his ivory-dagger teeth and brass talons
He comes from a family of monsters
He terrorizes the people of Nemea
Finally slain by Hercules
He strangled the lion to death
Made a cloak with the lion’s skin
That made him as tough as the Nemean Lion
*This is a free-verse poem
The Sphinx
Flying above me
Circling around me
A woman’s head, a lions body, an eagles wings
Making me sweat
Not only because I am in a desert
But because I am afraid she will eat me
Her name is the Sphinx
Elegant, yet lion like
Was the biggest of them all
Lila, was her real name
She used to always hunt with the Griffins
Even though they were big, she wanted more.
The Sphinx was later left frozen
After a fight with Thallo
She was a legend
For she managed to escape from Tartarus
And then saw Zeus once again
The Sphinx myths are evidence for Oedipus
The Sphinx monster valued
Herself t0o highly
We are not done with the Sphinx
Nor is she done with us
Some say she is still
Guarding the Egyptian desert
We will never know
Until we see her ourselves
The Chimaera
The Fire breathing monster
Brother of Cebererus and the Lernean Hydra
A lion a snake and a gaot all in one
Making lives miserable and lonely
By eating the people
He needed to be stopped
So Bellerophon a son of the Sea God
Took it out of play
The Cimaera is gone
So say hurray
Because Bellerrphon saved the day
Monster: The Hydra
Type: Limerick
A one hundred monster appeared
All over the world he was feared
It could not be killed
It was far to skilled
When Hercules slayed it he cheered
Medusa, the lovely creature
Out of an egg,
Comes a beautiful creature,
With gorgeous hair,
And lovely eyes,
For it is Medusa.
Poseidon was looking for a bride,
A beautiful bride,
And of course the prettiest bride,
Could only be Medusa.
Medusa sat on her rock,
When a goddess appeared,
Athena,
Who gazed at the most gorgeous creature.
She was jealous,
Jealous of medusa,
So she did some evil.
So naughty Athena,
Turned her hair into coils,
Coils of slimy slippery snakes,
And then everything, touched by Medusa turned to stone.
Now lonely medusa,
Swims and swims,
And can never,
Be the beautiful creature again
Raised in a house of greed,
Fafnir the ogre was in the lead,
He could transform into beasts,
Upon horror he feasts,
Until he was slayed by Siefried.

Dad is king
Wishes to be king
Cursed into dragon
Flying, Attacking
Dragon
Calydonian boars are very big
they also act like a big fat pig
there big and hairy
can be very scary
and will snap just like a twig
Have you Heard?
Have you heard
Of three sisters
Not at all graceful like a flying bird
The sisters three
Tiss, Meg, and Ally
With their nails and wings of brass
So sharp to you they might harass
Vivid orange hair
And stingray whips
a memory you wish just wasn’t there
These wicked monsters
Ugly to what eye an sees
Can take who they need
To their King Hades
So look through the skies
And hope you don’t see
The gruesome sight
Of the three Furies
“Anteus”
Anteus is a scary giant
who eats people of Libya
and turns them into stew.
He loves the sound of terror
when everybody screams
and runs away in fear
Anteus was defeated by
the almighty Hercules
who helped Libya
Cinquain
Cerberus
three heads
fighting, saving, growling
He guards the Underworld
dog
In the quiet waters
Of the forest pool
lays the Fafnir creature
His body changes as he sees you
he wants to battle
for he is hungry
Until the soft waters are all dried up
he will watch anyone
who dares to care about him
A deadly but yet
simple creature
With a mild bright eye
And a waving tail
he stares at you
with desire
The beast is happy
You are scared
and over look
the days you’ve spent
The time has not come yet
To slay the beast But must come soon
Meanwhile happy Fafnir
Take thy rest in the afternoon
sleep well thy Fafnir because
your days are numbered!
Scylla once was a beautiful Nymph
Until Circe poisoned her
Wolves grew from her
She was stuck with them forever
Under the rock she lays
The wolves attack
Unexpecting sailors
Blood and bodies all over the deck
Beware of Scylla
The water beast
If Only (Free-verse)
If only I were beautiful
And had both my eyes, and a shrewd mind
If only I were born normal
Considered savages were my kind
If only my father Uranus wasn’t jealous
If only he left my brother and I alone
However, I am strong
so there’s no point to moan and groan
“Cyclops” means “circle-eyed”
Just because I have one round eye in the middle of my forehead
If only I were petite and feminine
And could be human instead
Did you ever wonder where Zeus’s thuderbolt, Hades helmet of invisibility and Posiedon’s tridet came from?
Hard work and labor preformed by my brother and I
Yet imprisoned in a cave is considered our home.
We battled our father for hurting us
And our own family for hating who we are
Stronger than everyone yet
Left with an internal scar
Was it my fault that I was born strong, stubborn and with “abrupt emotions”?
Was it my fault that I was imprisoned?
If only I could’ve prepared for this
If only I knew what was yet to come
I am sorry that I eat humans
I have to live with myself each and everyday
I am sorry you consider me a monster from Greece
But I am sorrier that Uranus made me this way.
Amycus the monster born from a fight
eyes made of diamonds
A head made of brass
This is Amycus the monster
you wouldn’t want to get in a fight with Amycus the monster
The Sirens are quite beautiful,
With long red locks of hair
And dark brown wings.
They sing their songs when sailors come
These songs leand the sailors to their deaths
For they jump over board.
Not always did the Sirens have their wings
For they were a “punishment” gone wrong
Circe meant for them to be birds
Because the Sirens, they betrayed her.
Instead the wicked spell went wrong
Instead of punishment they got joy,
And the pride of being in the sky
So a punishment became a gift,
And that is how,
The sirens got their wings.
He was born of Mother Earth.
Anteus was worth the birth
Because he can kill anything
With ease sweeping from tree to tree
But then one day Hercules saved the day!
He begged and begged but Hercules went
All the way through
Monster: The Nemean Lion
Type: Free Verse
The Nemean Lion,
Has the job of killing,
He was ordered by Zues,
To kill a sickly kid,
So the Nemean Lion,
Did as he was told,
And now he terrorizes towns,
And kills for the fun of it,
But he alwas eats his scaps,
A womens face,
On the Nemean Lion’s fore head,
Has six wrinkles,
He has the main the color,
Of the sunset,
And his eyes are the same color,
He is an old Greek myth ,
Created by old Mother Earth,
He is an evil lion,
And that is hust the way,
It has to be.
Medusa (Concrete)
Medusas’ snakes bring a horrible fate,
Of turning innocent people to stone.
Athena gave her this terrible quality,
For she was jealous of Poseidon choosing her over the wise Athena.
I pray that you never meet Medusa one day,
Because she is no longer a beautiful creature.
But if you do happen to stumble upon this hideous beast,
What ever you do,
Never, ever, NEVER!
Look into her shiny gray eyes.
For you will belong to her and go to the graveyard of cold, lifeless, scared statues.
Cyclops
By: Andrew Schmidt
Cyclops are ugly
They have one eye,
On their forehead,
Right in the middle,
Cyclops are ugly,
As ugly as can be
Cyclops are ugly,
They are as tall as trees,
They are enourmous,
Bigger than me,
Cyclops are ugly,
As ugly as can be
Cyclops are ugly,
But good for something,
Making tools,
They are great at that
Cyclops are ugly,
As ugly as can be.
Amycus
Amycus, the brass head monster born a cyclopes
But could not get the girl of his dreams.
He made a head out of brass
For he was very smart.
The girl said yes
And he was happy
But that is not have of the story
Amycus…The brass head monster.
Cinquain
Geryon
Ruthless monster,
Killing, teriffing,
Three-bodied killing machine,
Ladon
There once was a serpent named Ladon
People could mistaken him for a dragon
He guarded the golden apple tree
And ate people even their knees
But fell in love with a girl with beauty
What’s a challenge for him you ask
Well he has 100 heads!
So it’s very hard for him to find a decent bed!
The Chimaera was a creature
That looked like a combination between
A dragon, a horse, a goat, a lion and a cat.
A very mean creature it was
For it ate the entire population
But It got slayed by a man
On a pegasus on one day
Horay!
“Medusa”
Medusa was once a beautiful woman
So beautiful that she was chosen to be Posideons wife
Together they were happy
Until on tragic day she was cursed
It turned her once fair hair into snakes
She avoided all humans for
Looking into Medusa’s eye’s turned you…
Into solid cold stone
Her name means wise
But she was not
For one night
She was slain by Perseus without a fight
Cinquain
Geryon,
Blood-thirsty killer,
Terrifing, bone-chilling, horrifing
The three-bodied people eater,
Monster
Cerberus
Echidne the Serpent woman
Laid a lumpy egg.
“Crack” a paw crept out.
“Thump” a large curly, pitch black tail slithered out.
“Creek” three heads in the shape of a dog appeared.
Echidne stepped back.
For, she looked at the creature, at that three headed dog.
Cerberus, Cerberus she recited.
I shall call you Cerberus.
Cerberus grew and grew.
For, his three heads made a mighty crew.
He hunted in the ocean, he attacked sharks.
For all three heads, together, made a frightful bark.
There was no creature that Cerberus feared.
Though, he was feared by all other’s.
To this day Cerberus guards the Underworld.
