      yeah. Actually they were daughters of the river-god Achelous and the Terpsichore the Muse of dancing. (All Muses can sing. That's where the word "music" came from.)
      They were handmaidens of Persephone. They weren't able to stop Hades' kidnapping of her and out of anger, Demeter cursed them and they can to live on a island, luring sailors to their deaths through their lovely songs.

      Assuming the "enormous turtle thing" is the one from Percy Jackson (since you used "Hundred Handed Ones" as opposed to "Hekatonkeres/Hecatoncheires" I'm guessing that's where you got these), it doesn't have a name. It's just a turtle. Now, the Skolopendra (giant shrimp thing) would be cool to see in a list like this.

    I do find it funny that they do the effort of calling Hercules, Heracles as Hercules is the latin name, in a section about Cerberus, which is the latin name of Kerberos (Greek)...

    • @alexpalmer7704
      @alexpalmer7704 8 років тому

      Also, the latinised Cerberus is still pronounced with a K sound and not an s sound

    • @glum006
      @glum006 8 років тому

      The Greek version is Heracles because Hera wanted her name in potentlly the greatest hero if all time before buttches came along and became an Olympian (I forget his Greek name)

    • @Scottharfield
      @Scottharfield 8 років тому +2

      you have no idea how much them saying Heracles pleases me, i always crack the shits when movies and tv shows call him hercules

    • @BjornV1994
      @BjornV1994 8 років тому +1

      Alex Palmer Well, the C is as an S here, due to the pronouncation of C in Germanic languages (as an S, when it is followed by the vowels i, e, y, as a K, when it is followed by the vowels, a, u, o). But that difference between languages, is another argument to call it Kerberos, instead of Cerberus...
