In Greek mythology, the Sphinx is a mysterious and challenging creature that both fascinated and terrified travelers with its intriguing riddles. Half woman and half lion, she guarded the entrance to Thebes and posed enigmatic riddles to anyone daring enough to pass by her.
The most famous story of the Sphinx involves Oedipus, the hero who solved her riddle. The creature asked, "What being has four legs in the morning, two at noon, and three at night?" Oedipus, with his cleverness, answered that it was a human being, who crawls in infancy, walks upright in adulthood, and uses a cane in old age. The correct answer enraged the Sphinx, who threw herself off a cliff, fulfilling her curse.
