#typhoeus

“They report that Gaia, annoyed over the murder of the giants, slandered Zeus to Hera and that she went to speak out to Kronos. He gave her two eggs and he rubbed them down with his own semen and ordered her to put them down in the ground from where a spirit would arise who would rebel against Zeus from the beginning. She did this because she was really angry and set them down below Arimos in Kilikia. But when Typhoeus appeared Hera relented and told Zeus everything. He struck him down with lightning and named him Mt. Aetna. This report works well for us not to have an issue that this is the Homeric Account. He names the grave a resting place euphemistically.” (Schol. b ad Il. 2.783)

"Art suggests a stronger congruence between the imperfect, monstrous forms of Hera's two sons than literature does, for in return to Olympus scenes Hephaestus is often depicted with severely twisted feet, which accordingly recall Typhon's anguipede form. An ancient variant of Hephaestus' myth, already in the Iliad, tells that he was lamed rather when Zeus hurled him from heaven for helping Hera against him. And in this he parallels Typhon who, the Theogony tells, crashes to earth lamed when overcome by Zeus, and is then hurled down again into Tartarus. In his final confinement too Typhon is associated with Hephaestus: the Theogony compares him to the tin melted in the mountains under the guidance of Hephaestus, whilst, according to Pindar, he 'sends up the most terrible fountains of Hephaestus'. But Aeschylus and Nicander co-opt Hephaestus to serve as guard over Typhon and as confiner of him at this point, setting his anvils over him and working his metals on top of his body."
