Just two weird little tidbits of info. In Ancient Greek Kerberos, the name for Cerberus at the time, meant spotted. And in Ancient Latin Cerberus means fluffed. So the god of the Underworld, depending on which iteration you use, either called his three headed guard-dog, Fluffy or Spot.

Once again, JK Rowling's knowledge and wit amazes me. Fluffy was the name of Hagrid's three-headed dog that guarded the Philospher's Stone. I just thought it was a joke because the dog/dogs were so violent.

Fun fact/annoying nitpick, but ACKSHUALLY, Pandora opened a jar, not a box. It was mistranslated as "box" probably in the 16th century by Erasmus.

I recently(when I mean recently, this was about 6 months ago) read a book about greek mythology and it was about Prometheus, although, I just gave up seeing the first few questions so I didn’t get that one

Polyphemus should also be accepted for Cyclops, as it's the creature's actual name.

The question is asking for the type of creature, not its actual name.

I didn't realize Prometheus was a Titan. I always thought he was a human who stole fire from the gods.
