The Sphinx of Naxos The Archaeological Museum of Delphi, Greece   

This colossal statue of the mythical Sphinx came as an offering to Apollo of Delphi from the island of Naxos. The daemonic creature with the female face, the body of a lioness and the wings of an eagle, was supposed to be warding off the evil. The enormous (2 m) figure was seated on the top of a tall (10 m) marble ionic column.

According to the myth, the Sphinx guarded the entrance to the Greek city of Thebes, asking the same riddle to travellers to allow them passage. Those who couldn’t solve the riddle were thrown down from the cliff or devoured. The riddle of the Sphinx was the following: “Which creature has one voice and yet becomes four-footed and two-footed and three-footed?” The answer is: Man—who crawls on all fours as a baby, then walks on two feet as an adult, and then uses a walking stick in old age. Oedipus was the only one who solved the riddle, entered the city and became its ruler.
