Hippalectrion

Hippalectryon (al-Greek. ἱππαλεκτρυών, from ἵππος — horse and ἀλεκτρυών — "rooster" in Latin. Hippalectryon) — in ancient Greek mythology, a creature with the body of a rooster and the front part of a horse.

At the moment, no myths related to the hippalectrion are known. The very first images of him currently date back to the IX century BC, become most common in the VI century, especially in vase painting, and sometimes in the form of statues, often with a horseman. The hippalectrion is also mentioned in several ancient literary works and is present on some banknotes.
