Sybaris is a legendary cave-dwelling giant beast that devoured both livestock and humans. She was killed after being hurled from an overhanging rock.
Appearance[]
Sybaris is a young and beautiful woman with long dark hair and simple clothing.
When turning into the vampire, she has a serpent like appearance with large wings.

When she was revived by Cronus, Sybaris was driven by revenge toward Hera but revealed to have been punished by the goddess for betraying her.
Having sided with Cronus, she allowed her anger and desire for revenge to overcome her by agreeing to target the Chosen Ones.
In the Series[]
Sybaris
Sybaris was once a mortal Queen, her betrayal of Hera led to Sybaris' imprisonment into a cave and banishment from all she loved. Her hatred for Mortals made her a lamia, the first vampire. By day, she is a beautiful woman, but by night she was a humanoid half-bat half-snake creature. Hera took away all Sybaris loved, which were her offspring, while nearby villagers captured her and threw her off a cliff. She reverted to her human form and turned to stone; in the exact spot she fell a fountain sprung. In the future, a town was built around the fountain, positioning it so the fountain resided in the town square.
Cronus revives her and suggests that she kills The Chosen Ones as revenge against Hera, as Hera loves Jay and the others like her own children, and taking them from her will make Hera feel the same pain Sybaris felt when Hera took her children away from her. To do this, Sybaris feigns romantic interest in Herry as a local girl named Thalia to capture and bite him while setting vampires free to attack his friends. Sybaris is defeated after a fight with Hera when Jay stabs the former in the back. Sybaris returns to stone and is restored to the fountain.
Mythology[]
Sybaris was a giant beast that dwelled on Mount Cirphis and terrorized the countryside of Krisa, devouring livestock and people. The people of the region asked The Oracle of Delphi how to end the depredations. The God, Apollo answered that a young man should be offered to the beast to achieve peace from it. The young and handsome Alkyoneus, was selected to be the victim, but the hero Eurybatus, a descendant of the river God Axios, was overcome with love for Alkyoneus and became determined to save him. He took his place as the victim and hurled the dragon from the mountainside, striking it against the rocks where a fountain sprung up.
This spring was later named "Sybaris" by the locals, and was the namesake of the City of Sybaris (Italy).
