Five Mythological Creatures and the Legends that Inspired Them

Below are the origins of five beloved mythological beasts and where their myths originated.

Quotes by Allison Alexander (?)

“Those of us with chronic pain have something unique to offer, not in spite of our pain, but because of it. It's okay to grieve the losses of chronic illness. It's okay to be broken; everyone is in some way. Just because we're unfixable doesn't mean we're worthless.”
― Allison Alexander, Super Sick: Making Peace with Chronic Illness
