The hero of the poem Bellerophon in the fight with the monster threw it on top of the mountain now called mount Chimera. The monster did not die and continues to live inside her. It is constantly spewing out of the ground the flames, very well visible in the dark. Nowadays it is already known that this unique process is associated with the presence in the mountain natural gas that reaches the surface of the mountain and seeps through it in sufficient concentration to its open burning.
