Revision as of 13:42, 10 March 2013

A monster of Greek mythology, appearing in the eight book of Pliny's "Natural History." Its name means "one who looks downward."

The catoblepas was said to dwell in the west of Ethiopia, near the Nile River. It was described having the body of a black buffalo and the head of a pig or snake, with a slender rope-like neck. It was stocky in build, and its body was covered by incredibly hard fur. Its breath was said to be deadly poison, enough to instantly cause the plants around it to wither and die. The catoblepas also had a lethal gaze that would (turn) whatever its eye crossed to stone. However, its slender neck made it difficult to raise its head, and so it rarely had the chance to wield this power.

The catoblepas is also sometimes identified with the Gorgons of Greek myths.
