=== Zeus === [[File:ZeusTyphoeus.jpg|thumb|Zeus and Typhon fighting.]] The Corycian Cave plays a key role in the mythological battle between Zeus and Typhon. Typhon was a mythological beast, born of Earth and Tartarus and he battled the gods, most notably Zeus. During their battle, Zeus and Typhon fought back and forth, Zeus throwing his lightning bolts, eventually injuring Typhon. However, Typhon also injured Zeus and was able to bring him, and imprison him in the Corycian Cave. Typhon had the cave guarded by the she-dragon Delphyne. Still however, Hermes and Aegipan were able to free Zeus and he went on to defeat Typhon. The Corycian Cave played a key role in the Greek mythological battles with the gods, and because Zeus was said to have been imprisoned in the cave, he was also worshipped there.<ref>{{Cite web|title=APOLLODORUS, THE LIBRARY BOOK 1 - Theoi Classical Texts Library|url=https://www.theoi.com/Text/Apollodorus1.html|access-date=2021-12-15|website=www.theoi.com}}</ref> [[File:Wenceslas Hollar - The Greek gods.
