What type of fictitious Greek entity you think you are.

Well, for me it's easy

Pegasus

Specifically greek? Ok.. well.. I suppose the chimera was kind of interesting, in a "Look guys, we've run out of ideas" kind of way. Yeah, that'd do. Does this need it's own thread? I mean, I put down 'cockatrice' (a medieval english mythical beast) in the animal thread...

When Perseus cut off Medusa's head, the blood sinking into the earth produced the winged horse Pegasus. Minerva caught and tamed him and presented him to the Muses. The fountain Hippocrene, on the Muse's mountain Helicon, was opened by a kick from his hoof.

The basilist is similar, probably an inspiration, though definitely not a cockatrice.

THE COCKATRICE, OR BASILISK.

This animal was called the king of the serpents. In confirmation of his royalty, he was said to be endowed with a crest, or comb upon the head, constituting a crown. He was supposed to be produced from the egg of a cock hatched under toads or serpents. There were several species of this animal. One species burned up whatever they approached; a second were a kind of wandering Medusa's heads, and their look caused an instant horror which was immediately followed by death. In Shakespeare's play of "Richard the Third," Lady Anne, in answer to Richard's compliment on her eyes, says "Would they were basilisk's, to strike thee dead!"

Let us consult the fount of random information wikipedia:

Basilisk:
[quote=wiki]In European bestiaries and legends, a basilisk (from the Greek βασιλίσκος basiliskos, a little king, in Latin Regulus) is a legendary reptile reputed to be king of serpents and said to have the power of causing death by a single glance. According to the Naturalis Historia of Pliny the Elder, the basilisk is a small snake that is so venomous that it leaves a wide trail of deadly venom in its wake, and its gaze is likewise lethal.[/quote]
King of the reptiles, usually either a lizard or a snake, wiht a death gaze.

Cockatrice:
[quote=wiki]A cockatrice is a legendary creature, "an ornament in the drama and poetry of the Elizabethans" (Breiner). The cockatrice was invented in the late twelfth century based on a hint in Pliny's Natural History, as a duplicate of the basilisk or regulus, in appearance resembling a giant rooster, with a lizard-like tail. It was supposed to be born from an egg laid by a cock[1] and incubated by a toad or serpent. Attempts to identify it with any particular biological species, often of snakes, have proved generally futile and it is generally considered a bogey of the wasteland.[/quote]
A duplicate creature, thinly plagiarised from the basilisk as early as the 12th century in europe. However, it possesses it's own appearence, features, backgrounds, and weaknesses as distinct to from the basilisk.

Perhaps 900 years ago they were almost the same, however, since the split they each have developed into entirely seperate beasts in the realms of fantasy. A simple example would be that an adventuring party equipped and prepared to fight a cockatrice would be met with a rude surprise and perhaps death should they come up against a basilisk instead.
