A Sphinx is a mythological creature,
represented in Egyptian, Assyrian, and Greek
art as a lion with a human head. In Greek
myth the Sphinx killed all those who came to
her and failed to answer her riddle about
what animal went firstly on four legs, then
on two, and lastly on three: the answer is
humanity (baby, adult, and old person with
stick).
