Mythology
The Chimera was a fire-breathing monster that terrorized the countryside of Lycia. A king commanded a man named Bellerophon to kill the beast. Bellerophon couldn't complete the task on his own, but the goddess Athena helped him tame Pegasus, the winged horse, with a golden bridle. Bellerophon and Pegasus chased the beast, but the Chimera's fire was too fierce for them to face. Bellerophon realized he could use the heat of the fire to his advantage. He put a piece of lead on the end of his spear, and when the Chimera opened its mouth, he stabbed it. The lead melted and the Chimera suffocated, ending its reign of terror.
