Chimera- Empress of Wild

CHIMERA


The empress of wild.
She's raw, wild and untamed. 

She knows the beauty and she hunts for it. 
You cannot find her in the very world but only 
in her denizen of thoughts. 
She's the lion empress, she's Chimera.


In Greek mythology, the Chimera is described as a mythical or fictional animal with parts taken from various animals, or to describe anything composed of very disparate parts, or perceived as wildly imaginative, implausible, or dazzling.  Chimera was a monstrous hybrid with the body of a lion, the head of a goat, and a tail that ended with the head of a snake. As if that wasn’t enough, it also breathed fire. She was an epitome of power and catastrophe.
It resided in Lycia, a place in Asia Minor, where it ravaged the lands with its fire breath. She devastated Caria and Lycia until she was slain by Bellerophon.
The sight of a Chimera was taken as an omen for disaster in the orthodox era. The sketch drawned by Aadra jain is her portrayal of chimera with a poem written underneath:
"The empress of wild.
She's raw, wild and untamed. 
She knows the beauty and she hunts for it. 
You cannot find her in the very world but only in her denizen of thoughts. 
She's the lion empress, she's Chimera."
