stymphalian birds
hey people.
I'm trying to find some more info about the stymphalian birds. As far as i know they appeared in (as far as i know) two Greek myths. They are sayed to be birds with metallic wings and/or metallic claws/beak,
and were able to launch there feathers at the enemie, slicing through every knowable armor.
in the myth it is says that the birds came from Arabia and later migrated to a different place, (the black sea/Africa)
any info would be very helpful.

Historical beings
I am searching for a type of creature that was believed to protect the past and history. I remembering learning about one in Greek Mythology but can't remember the name. I am looking for that name and similar examples in other cultures.

Grrrr...
All right. So upon making this page I did have information to post along with it. However when it came time to post said information I found I could not. The EasyEdit simply wouldn't allow it much to my aggravation. Now I don't like to think of myself as a quitter but after many failed attempts I will simply post the information here and hopefully someone who can EasyEdit the page will take pity.
A salamander is both a mythical and real creature. The name'salamander'derived from the greek term loosely meaning'fire lizard'The real animal being an amphibian, and the mythical a fire dwelling lizard.Due to the nature of this site lets focus on the mythical shall we?
Salamanders have been said to be able to both create and put out flames, and in some cases are fire themselves. However in some stories they are merely fire resistant. In faery legend salamanders are credited with having taught the first humans how to make fire; however there have also been versions of their origin saying they are composed by glass blowers who kept their furnaces stoked for several days and nights. They are often described as small lizards, but have also been know to be depicted small glowing lights, and on rare occasion traditional faery like humanoid beings.
The most likely base for their legend is the real life salamanders whom are known to sleep and hibernate among logs that were then picked up and used to fuel fires. As a result of being tossed into a roaring inferno they would wake up and scamper out of the fire. To the unknowing camper they would seemingly appear from the flames. Don't worry, salamanders are known for their abnormally cool exterior and are able to withstand a short stint in your fireplace.
