The Sphinx was the gaurdian of Thebes in Greek mythology. In answer to your question, no one really 'killed' her, except indirectly. She basically comitted suicide because Oedipus solved her ridlle.
"Which creature in the morning goes on four legs, at mid-day on two, and in the evening upon three, and the more legs it has, the weaker it be?" She strangled and devoured anyone unable to answer. Oedipus solved the riddle by answering: Man-who crawls on all fours as a baby, then walks on two feet as an adult, and then walks with a cane in old age. By some accounts[5] (but much more rarely), there was a second riddle: "There are two sisters: one gives birth to the other and she, in turn, gives birth to the first." The answer is "day and night" (both words are feminine in Greek).
