The Riddle was famously solved by the character Oedipus in Sophocles' play "Oedipus Rex." The riddle, posed by the Sphinx, asked what walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening. Oedipus correctly answered that it represents a human: a baby crawling on all fours, an adult walking on two legs, and an elderly person using a cane. His solution led to the Sphinx's defeat and his rise to power in Thebes.
