Oedipus, who became the King of Thebes.
The hero who answered the riddle of the Phoenix was Oedipus. In Greek mythology, Oedipus solved the riddle posed by the Sphinx, which was a creature often associated with the themes of life, death, and rebirth, similar to the Phoenix. By correctly answering the riddle, Oedipus freed Thebes from the Sphinx’s curse and solidified his place as a tragic hero in Greek lore.

When Oedipus entered Thebes, he encountered the Sphinx, a mythical creature that was terrorizing the city by posing a riddle to its citizens. Those who could not solve the riddle were killed. Oedipus solved the Sphinx's riddle, which led to the creature's demise and resulted in him being hailed as a hero and eventually becoming king of Thebes.
It is a misnomer that there is a 'riddle' of the Great Sphinx of Giza as this phrase is confused with the original Greek legend of The Riddle of the Sphinx. See the link below.
Oedipus solved the Sphinx's riddle in the play Oedipus Rex ("Oedipus the King"). He alone understood that a people-killing Sphinx would pose an apparently unanswerable riddle about people.
