Lets see if there is people who can remember about Greek Mythology.

Object is to name a god or deity and give a brief description about that person or animal.

I will start with:

Chaos (state of being not defined, a mass of whirling nothing without shape or form)

I don't think he was the ruler of earthquakes but he is the god of horses

lets not forget Hercule's the guy who had to take on 7 imposable tasks and the Hydra a 7 headed monster that when you chopped of one 2 grew in it's place Hercules took care of this by cauterizing them although it wasn't his idea it was his cousin? I think? and he killed it. no I don't have a life
