Villains of Greek Mythology By Kendall Richard Mythology is defined by its great heroes, and the villains that defeat them. Greek mythology is full of hideous monsters, cruel titans, and cunning kings, all of whom make for lasting stories. Here are the top 5 villains from Greek mythology. Typhon A monster so fierce that even the gods fled from him. He is said to have 100 dragon heads so tall that they touched the stars. The gods couldn’t kill him so they trapped Typhon under Mt. Aetna. Cronus The father of the greatest gods who was so scared of his fate that he swallowed them. Cronus ruled the world and wanted to keep himself in power, he thought the best way to do this was to consume his kids. Sisyphus This cunning king of Ephyra managed to trick Death. Twice. His conniving plans earned him a spot amongst the greatest sinners in the underworld.
