The fire-breathing monster of Greek myth, a lion with a goat's head rising from its back and a serpent for a tail, crouches and snarls, already wounded. It once formed part of a group with the hero Bellerophon, and an inscription marks it as an offering to the Etruscan god Tinia. Workmen found it at Arezzo in 1553, and Cosimo I de' Medici quickly claimed it.
