The Chimera on a red-figure Apulian plate, c. 350–340 BC (Musée du Louvre)

The Chimera (/kɪˈmɪərə/ or /kaɪˈmɪərə/, also Chimaera (Chimæra); Greek: Χίμαιρα, Chímaira "she-goat"), according to Greek mythology, was a monstrous fire-breathing hybrid creature of Lycia in Asia Minor, composed of the parts of more than one animal. It is usually depicted as a lion, with the head of a goat protruding from its back, and a tail that might end with a snake's head. It was one of the offspring of Typhon and Echidna and a sibling of such monsters as Cerberus and the Lernaean Hydra. The term "chimera" has come to describe any mythical or fictional creature with parts taken from various animals, to describe anything composed of very disparate parts, or perceived as wildly imaginative, implausible, or dazzling.

Στην Ελληνική μυθολογία αναφέρεται η Χίμαιρα ως ένα φοβερό τέρας, ένα μυθολογικό ζώο,που εξέπνεε φωτιά, είχε σώμα κατσίκας, κεφάλι λιονταριού, και η ουρά του κατέληγε σε φίδι. Σύμφωνα με άλλες περιγραφές, είχε περισσότερα από ένα κεφάλια, συνηθέστερα τρικέφαλος (κεφαλή λέοντα, κατσίκας και δράκοντα). Η Χίμαιρα σύμφωνα με την ιστορία είχε με τον Όρθρο ένα παιδί την Σφίγγα.
