I know jokes and puns don't always translate, but I figured the folks here would be a good resource just to check.

For something I'm writing I'm trying to make a play on "beast" and "feast." English not a problem. What I'm wondering if there is any way to make a similar play in Greek. So I'm wondering if there is a word in Greek that bears some similarity to the Greek word for beast, Θηρίον, therion. Either starting or ending with a similar structure, rhyming would be best, but I'll take whatever I get.

If there is something, that would be great, if not, it isn't a problem.

Thanks.
