Logged into the dead birdsite and was reminded of this gem. 100/10 for chapter title, no notes.

The #Hippalektryon, literally "horse-cock" or "horse-rooster" (hippos = horse, alektryôn = cock) is a hybrid creature with the head and sometimes forelegs of a horse and the wings, tail and back-legs of a male chicken. Linda Sejic drew them most beautifully, tended to by Demeter and Persephone:
