Every search for a hero must begin with something that every hero requires... a villain. Therefore, in our search for our hero, Bellerophon, we created the monster... Chimera.

This topic would be much more interesting if it was the mythology behind the name for an aerospace project. For example, Project Nike was named for the Greek goddess who personified victory who was also known as the Winged Goddess of Victory. Her Roman equivalent was Victoria.
