Try reading some books by Zecharia Sitchin or check out his website. Lots of great insights on the gods and their history.

you could try contacting the yorkshire post. if someone younger has played, they would have included it in an article on the match in question, seeing as it's something of an achievement :O) otherwise you could try contacting the british amateur rugby league association. they might be able to find out for you

STAR LEGEND\nThe group of stars known to us as the Pleiades gave food for much thought to the aborigines. There are several legends surrounding these heavenly bodies. One is that the Kamilaroys of the North Coast were at enmity with those of the mountains, and a messenger had been sent from group to group with the message-stick calling a council to discuss measures for the protection of the camps. But the messenger had become enamoured of a young woman of one of the groups he had visited, and his affection was returned. However, she proved to be of the same totem, and a marriage was forbidden. Both the young people were very sad, and the man pleaded with the head-man, but all for nothing. He was advised to return to his own people.\n\nThen, like so many other disappointed lovers, he grew resentful, and at last determined to be revenged, and even then, if possible, to secure the lady of his choice.\n\nSo he went away to the enemies of the group, and conspired with them to show them the "pukkan" by which they might steal unseen to the camps of the coast lands. This track belonged to the priest, and led to a sacred spot where the Great Spirit could be communed with by the priest.\n\nNow, the first thing was to drive the people together, or by some subtle means persuade them to congregate on the one place. This was not an easy thing to do. The people were widely separated during the day, for some were in the bush engaged in hunting there or in obtaining those things from it that were needed to fashion all the implements incidental to camp life, others were still in the camp; many were down on the beach either playing there or searching for food, and the whereabouts of still more were always uncertain, for they were roamers.\n\nMany consultations were held; many plans were formulated; many tricks were explained; but at last it was decided that the messenger return to that group and pretend to have given up all thought of marrying the coveted girl.\n\nWhen he was back he sought the confidence of the headman and soon was received without suspicion. Then one day, having prepared and found a chance, he set fire to the bush. He had laid good plans for he knew just where to find the girl. He had seen to it that she was persuaded to go out of the way to get something that she wanted. It was to the pukkan that led to the sacred place. When the fire raged towards them they ran right on to the holy of holies. The only other people who saw them were women who were led by the guardians of young girls. These guardians were watching the girl wanted by the messenger. Now they were all frightened and they all rushed to the clearing. This invasion by women into such a place was against all commandments, and evil was bound to follow.\n\nHeaps of clay left by the priest were seen, and all commenced to smear themselves with it without knowing how to do it properly. They thought it would surely preserve them.\n\nThey were changed into witchetty grubs. They found holes in a moist and rotten log into which, as is the habit of witchetty grubs, they crept. They were shrunken into very small beings compared with the beings they once were.\n\nThe fire came on and on. People ran in all directions and many were destroyed.\n\nThen by the treachery of the messenger the men of the hills came down and they fell upon the rest and the beach group were nearly all killed. Only the denseness of the smoke prevented more of the mountain people from coming down, and those that did come were glad to hasten away to escape it.\n\nOf those that were not killed there was a priest who went to the sacred spot as soon as he could. He sat on the moist and rotten log and mourned for a long time. Then growing hungry he searched for witchetty grubs, for he knew that the log was a favourite place for them. He found first the woman who was the first one to change. He knew that group to be different from those he had seen before and he suspected witchery. He uttered an incanta

There are many montrous lions in mythology.\nThe Chimera another Greek legend, had the body of a lion and the heads of the lion, goat and dragon.\nThe griffin of Greek mythology had the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle.\nThe Manticore has the body of a lion and the face of a man, and it eats people.\nThe androsphinx has the body of a lion and the face of a man.\nThe Criosphinx has the body of a lion and the head of an eagle.\nSo the previous answers were partially correct.\nThe Hippogriff was a winged horse with eagle claws and head.\n\nAs for just winged lions this seems to be the creature that the goddess Ishtar favored, but I don't know what the Babylonians called them. Sorry.\nThis site might be able to tell you, but I don't know.

Here's the true answer.\n\nCats were the devil's animal in folk belief and were thought to have power over good and evil.  This power extended to control over the weather.  Superstitious people believed that if a cat washed it face then that meant that it was going to rain.  If seen clawing or leaping - that meant gales.\n\nOdin was a Viking god and his attendant was a dog, which symbolized the wind.

Look up the Dragon and Serpent in Mythology. They are well known in the Aztec, Chinese and Japanese Mythology as well as many other ancient cultures.\nThere are bodies of water that some say water creatures like the one in Loch ness reside, some have written that they could be creatures of the dinosaur era, I mean if crocodiles/alligators have survived whats to say that others havent.\nWith Aliens, I am sure we are not alone in our galaxy and universe.

The image makes me immediately think of Baron Samedi, who was, I believe, a death figure from a Voudoun mythology. Unfortunately, I'm not very well-read on that particular branch, but that's what comes to mind.

I think it is likely there was, as most myths have some basis in reality.  However, who he actually was is lost to the mists of time.  Check out the link for interesting details, especially about the evolution of the legend.

Yes.  Consider dogs, which are all considered to be the same species.  Yet, it would be difficult to cross a Great Dane with  a Yorkshire Terrier (no silly jokes about stepladders please - this is Science!!).  Because of th edimorphism, these are effectively two different species - often called "Ring species".  You can look that term up on the web.

Not all involve only animals.  There are important family and tribe values taught in some stories.  \nThe most famous involve a spider whom often gets into mischief because he does not think of others.  \nSome storied are explanations for the unknown (like many myths). (why the mosquitoes fly into ears, and why the sun and moon rise and set..)\nIf you want to pass you should go to the library.
