In Greek mythology, the Ophiotaurus (Ancient Greek: Ὀφιόταυρος) was a creature that was part bull and part serpent. Its only known appearance in an ancient work was in Ovid's Fasti. In this poem, it was the subject of a prophecy which warned that whoever burned the innards of the Ophiotaurus would defeat the gods. Briareus attempted to burn the Ophiotaurus but was foiled by a bird sent by Zeus. This story was part of the larger Titanomachy that set the gods against the Titans. Various interpretations of the creature have been presented by scholars of classical Greece.
