Χίμαιρα
From LSJ
ἡ δὲ φύσις φεύγει τὸ ἄπειρον· τὸ μὲν γὰρ ἄπειρον ἀτελές, ἡ δὲ φύσις ἀεὶ ζητεῖ τέλος → nature, however, avoids what is infinite, because the infinite lacks completion and finality, whereas this is what Nature always seeks
French (Bailly abrégé)
ας (ἡ) :
la Chimère, monstre de Lycie soufflant du feu, avec tête de lion, corps de chèvre et queue de serpent.
Étymologie: χίμαιρα.
English (Autenrieth)
the Chimaera, a monster sent as a plague upon Lydia, but slain by Bellerophon, described Il. 6.179-182. (The cut is from an Etruscan bronze figure of large size in the museum at Florence.)
