Not-So-Sexy Monsters

Thank you, yes! When I have a publication date, I will post in Facebook. And send you a copy! It's a small publisher but a division of Thomas Nelson, which is a big Christian publisher in the USA. We'll see what happens ...

Sorry for the digression. So what about all those Greek and Roman monsters, like Medusa? (sp?) And the hydra. Things that had snakes for hair or lots of heads ... Not sexy at all.
 
Then there's the Manticore, which had a lion's body, an ape's face, and a stinging tail like that of a scorpion. Some versions give it wings besides. The fanatically anti-Christian rock group Emerson, Lake and Palmer used the Manticore as an image of resistance to the "evil" United States of America.
