Greek myths were written to provide explanations for why life and our existence are what they are.
The creatures of all mythology around the world have been written to represent the traits, good and bad, of humanity. Our fear and our pride, our gluttony and our shame, all this is reflected in different mythological creatures.
Interestingly, much of the zodiac is based on mythology, so it makes sense that there is a mythological creature for each sign of the zodiac. Here is which mythological creature you are according to your zodiac.
Believe it or not, the fiery animal of Aries is the werewolf, while it is not surprising that we say that Scorpio is the main seducer: the dark, sensual and sexy image of the vampire. Find out where you stand among fairies, mermaids, elves and other mythical creatures.
