...Once again, since flame
Is wont to scorch and burn the tawny bulks
Of the great lions as much as other kinds
Of flesh and blood existing in the lands,
How could it be that she, Chimaera lone,
With triple body- fore, a lion she;
And aft, a dragon; and betwixt, a goat-
Might at the mouth from out the body belch
Infuriate flame?
-Lucretius, ibid, book 5
Chimera:
Gr.Myth. a fire-breathing monster, usually represented

...2. an impossible or foolish fancy
I can imagine you're wondering what infact a Chimera is. Well oh kindred spirit, it is simply a creature in Greek Mythology, offspring of Poseiden and Medusa, who was later slain by Bellerophon. Any I can also imagine that you're puzzled as to why I'd base a webpage on her. Well, I believe that everyone creates a dreamworld, filled with illusions and their very own Chimeras, or fantasies, and this site is dedicated to mine.
