2. What is the Chimaera?
The Chimaera is an
everlasting flame that is
shooting out of the ground.
The flame goes on forever
even in rain and wind.
It is in Olympos in Turkey and
is REALLY cool!!!!
Some ship captains use it as a
lighthouse as it is so bright
and near to the sea.
I have been there twice and it
is very awesome.
There is an interesting legend
which I will tell you about
later and I hope you enjoy
learning about it!!!!

3. Where is the Chimaera?
The Chimaera is situated
in Lycia, Turkey. It is
near Olympos beach and
Cirali.
The Chimaera flames are
at the very top of mount
Olympos, and they
supposedly got the first
Olympic torch from the
biggest flame.
The Chimaera is now a
popular tourist attraction
and I really loved it
when I went there.
It is very amazing!!!!

Apparently, Bellerophon, at
the command of King lobates
of Lycia, defeated the
Chimaera. Bellerophon
mounted Pegasus and shot
the Chimaera from the air. He
covered his spear with molten

According to legend the
Chimaera is trapped

The legend of the

This monster had the

the end of her tail
