I am unaware of any beast recorded in myth or legend that is described as having the head of a lion and the body of a man. The only mythical creature that I can think of that is similar to the aforementioned description is the Sphinx. The Sphinx is a beast from Greek mythology that is said to have the haunches of a lion, the wings of a great bird, and the face of a woman.
