Epimenides of Crete called this figure the child of Peiras and Styx. She was the mother of Scythes [skih-theez], who used his father Heracles' bow. She lived with the Arimi, though she gave birth to one child under a plane tree at the spring of Amymone. This Phorcid never aged, and she fed on raw human flesh in her cave until she was killed by Argus Panoptes. Her body was half beautiful nymph, half speckled serpent. She was the mother of a beast which lived in the Lernean lake and of a beast whose skin protected Heracles. For 10 points, name this creature who gave birth to the Nemean Lion and many other monsters with her husband Typhon.
