Next comes the [[Chimera (mythology)|Chimera]] (whose mother is unclear, either Echidna or the Hydra).<ref>The "she" at [https://www.loebclassics.com/view/hesiod-theogony/2018/pb_LCL057.29.xml 319] is ambiguous, see Clay, [https://books.google.com/books?id=2etBN0w0NGUC&pg=PA159 p. 159, with n. 34], but probably refers to Echidna, according to Gantz, p. 22; Most, [https://www.loebclassics.com/view/hesiod-theogony/2018/pb_LCL057.29.xml p. 29 n.18]; Caldwell, p. 47 on lines 319–325; but possibly the Hydra, or less likely Ceto.</ref> Finally Orthus (his mate is unclear, either the Chimera or Echidna) produced two offspring: the [[Sphinx]] and the [[Nemean Lion]].<ref>The "she" at [https://www.loebclassics.com/view/hesiod-theogony/2018/pb_LCL057.29.xml 326] is ambiguous, see Clay, [https://books.google.com/books?id=2etBN0w0NGUC&pg=PA159 p. 159, with n. 34], but probably refers to the Chimera according to Gantz, p. 23; Most, [https://www.loebclassics.com/view/hesiod-theogony/2018/pb_LCL057.29.xml p. 29 n. 20]; West 1988, p. 67 n. 326; but possibly to Echidna or less likely to Ceto.</ref>
