Anyone interested in Mythology? This is the place for Mythology people to post stuff about Mythology, I'll start off with a quiz

What is the difference between a griffin and a hippogriff?

What is a Barghest?

What is black shuck?

What is the difference between a phoenix and a firebird?

What is cetus?

What were Medusa's sisters called?

What is the blood of gods and titans called?

Were there any more cyclopes than Polyphemus THAT ARE MENTIONED in Greek mythology?

Who was Argus?

What was the name of the owner of Pegasus?

What was the name of Odysseus' aide?

What was the name of Odysseus' wife?

What was the name of Odysseus' son?

Well, there's loads more myths other than Greek. I won't mention specifics, in respect to those who still believe them. I can only answer a few off the top of my head, but I know plenty more.

The difference between a hiplogriff and griffin is that the hippogriff has the back of a horse and griffin that of a lion.

Medusa and her sisters were called the Gorgons.

Argus was a man created by Hera with a hundred eyes.

I never said it was only greek 

the Medusa answer is wrong, I did not ask what species they were, I asked for the name of her sisters

What is the difference between a phoenix and a firebird?

I think it differs from where the mythology is coming from, but phoenix are usually reference with rebirth where I think firebirds are usually referenced with fire.
