1. The Sphinx: The Sphinx can be seen as the trigger for Oedipus tearing his eyes out, or as an in joke for readers, as he was knowledgeable enough to defeat the Sphinx but not to recognize his parents, one of the stressers that caused him to rip his eyes out.
2. Pegasus And The Chimaera: It is interesting that a creature as good as Pegasus should be born of the dreaded monster Medusa, a subtle metaphor for the ability of good to come out of evil, or that good prevails, possibly. The Chimera cansignify that evil is stronger when it combines forces, but is till defeatable by good.
3. The Centaurs: This myth talks about how evils, even if they are lesser evils, must still be feared. After all, centaurs were allowed amongst humans but were still dangerous. They too have the duality of humans, being able to choose to be good or bad.
