In Greek mythology, The Sphinx was a Chthonic (of or from under the earth) monster, meaning that it was born of the primordial entities and came from a time before the Olympians. There are many origins, but the most popular is that she was the daughter of Echidna (mother of monsters) and Typhon (the last son of Gaea... which is what makes him Chthonic).
My Greek standards, any divine creature that was inhuman was considered a monster.

Chthonic (from Greek χθόνιος - chthonios, "in, under, or beneath the earth", from χθών - chthōn"earth"; pertaining to the Earth; earthy; subterranean) designates, or pertains to, deities or spirits of the underworld, especially in relation to Greek religion.
Greek khthon is one of several words for "earth"; it typically refers to the interior of the soil, rather than the living surface of the land (as Gaia or Ge does) or the land as territory (as khora (χώρα) does). It evokes at once abundance and the grave.
While terms such as "Earth deity" have rather sweeping implications in English, the words khthonie and khthonios had a more precise and technical meaning in Greek, referring primarily to the manner of offering sacrifices to the deity in question.
Some chthonic cults practised ritual sacrifice, which often happened at night time. When the sacrifice was a living creature, the animal was placed in a bothros ("pit") or megaron("sunken chamber"). In some Greek chthonic cults, the animal was sacrificed on a raised bomos ("altar"). Offerings usually were burned whole or buried rather than being cooked and shared among the worshippers.
Not all Chthonic cults were Greek, nor did all cults practice ritual sacrifice; some performed sacrifices in effigy or burnt vegetable offerings.

She is most famous for being Hades wife, and Demeters daughter. Hades saw her and immediately took her as his wife, even after her mothers refusal. It is said that the seasons change because during spring and summer Persephone is visiting her mother Demeter, and since Demeter is happy the plants flourish, but during winter time Persephone returns to Hades and Demeter weeps, causing the plants to wither and die. It is also claimed that Persephone is the only person who is able to calm Hades from his tempers and angry outbursts.

Black animals.
"When the Greeks propitiated Hades, they banged their hands on the ground to be sure he would hear them.[9] Black animals, such as sheep, were sacrificed to him, and the very vehemence of the rejection of human sacrifice expressed in myth suggests an unspoken memory of some distant past.[citation needed] The blood from all chthonic sacrifices including those to propitiate Hades dripped into a pit or cleft in the ground. The person who offered the sacrifice had to avert his face.[10] Every hundred years festivals were held in his honor, called the Secular Games."

In Greece, Nyx is only rarely the focus of cults - she had a oracle on the acropolis at Megara, more often her name was added to such gods as Dionysus Nyktelios "nocturnal" and Aphrodite Philopannyx "who loves the whole night"; below is a fragment from a Roman epic to give a hint to how it was done.
Statius, Thebaid (Roman epic C1st A.D.) :
"O Nox (Nyx/Night) . . . Ever shall this house throughout the circling periods of the year hold thee high in honor and in worship; black bulls of chosen beauty shall pay thee sacrifice [black animals were sacrificed to the chthonic gods], O goddess! And Vulcanus' [Hephaestus'] fire shall eat the lustral entrails, where-o'er the new milk streams."

No, there are no Greek gods or goddesses whose names start with the letter "F." The Greek pantheon includes deities such as Zeus, Hera, Athena, and Apollo, but none of them have names beginning with the letter "F." The closest might be the Furies, who were female chthonic deities of vengeance in Greek mythology, but they were not considered gods or goddesses in the traditional sense.

The Romans believed that if people was not given a funeral, they would come back as Lemures.
The lemures (singular lemur) were shades or spirits of the evil or vengeful dead. They were the shades of those who were not given a proper funeral or burial and were not honoured by the living. They were vagrant, restless, unsatiated manes who could be vengeful and torment and terrify the living. They name was probably derived from larvae (singular larva; mask). They were shapeless and lurked in the darkness and its dread. The 9th, 11th and 13th of May were days dedicated to their placation by the households in the ritual called Lemuralia or Lemuria. The head of the household got up at midnight and cast black beans behind him with averted gaze. The Lemures were presumed to feast on them. Black was the appropriate colour for offerings to chthonic deities (see below). If these malevolent shades were dissatisfied with this offering, the head of the household could frighten them into flight by the loud banging of bronze pots.

The Latin for the dead was mortuus/mortua(masculine/feminine) or silentes. There were also other important qwords which were used for the dead. To the Romans there were three aspects of the dead: the Manes and the Lares who were Chthonic deities and the Lemures, who were deamons. Chthonic deities were subterranean gods; that is gods of the underworld (di inferi)
The manes (shades of the dead) or di (gods) manes were the souls of the dead loved ones and represented the ancestors of the family. It is thought that the word originated from an archaic adjective, manus, which meant good. They were honoured in the religious festival Parentalia or dei parentales (ancestral days) which lasted nine days beginning ion 13th February. The manes were given sacred offerings (sacrificia) of flower-garlands, wheat, salt, wine-soaked bread and violets at their tombs by their families. The festival was a time of family unity and of symbolising the ties between the living and the dead ancestors. To emphasise the importance of the family to the state, on the opening day there were public ceremonies. The Vestal priestesses conducted a public rite for the collective di manes of the city of Rome.
The end of the parentalia was marked by the Feralia on 21st may. Offering were given to the tombs of the dead ancestor consisting of 'wreaths, a sprinkling of grain and a bit of salt, bread soaked in wine and violets scattered about.' (Ovid). It was a day of public mourning and rite of placation and exorcism which seems to have been purification for the Caristia on the following day, when the family had a banquet to celebrate friendship within the family, exchange gifts and to honour their benevolent dead ancestor, the Lares. While dining, the families offered food and incense as their household gods. It was a day of reconciliation and families conflicts were to be put aside.
On the Feralia and Caristia marriages were not allowed worship of the gods was banned, the doors of temples were closed and no incense burned no the altars. Ovid said that once, during a war the Romans did not observe the Feralia. The angry spirits rose from their graves, howling and roaming the streets. The Romans then made the offerings to the tombs and these events stopped.
The Lares were the benevolent dear ancestors. They were also tutelary gods; that is, gods who provided protection. There were the Lares who were the gods of the household/ family. The Lares could also be gods who protected the neighbourhood and where housed in shrines at crossroads. Roadways, seaways, agriculture, livestock, towns, cities, the state and the army were protected by their particular Llares
The lemures (singular lemur) were shades or spirits of the evil or vengeful dead. They were the shades of those who were not given a proper funeral or burial and were not honoured by the living. They were vagrant, restless, unsatiated manes who could be vengeful and torment and terrify the living. They name was probably derived from larvae (singular larva; mask).

Zeus played a dominant role, presiding over the Greek Olympian pantheon. He fathered many of the heroes and was featured in many of their local cults. Though the Homeric "cloud collector" was the god of the sky and thunder like his Near-Eastern counterparts, he was also the supreme cultural artifact; in some senses, he was the embodiment of Greek religious beliefs and the archetypal Greek deity.
Aside from local epithets that simply designated the deity to doing something random at some particular place, the epithets or titles applied to Zeus emphasized different aspects of his wide-ranging authority:
