The answer is, "A man, who crawls on all fours as a baby, walks on two legs as an adult, and walks with a cane in old age."


What is the Greek monster with the famous riddle?

The Sphinx (with the head of a woman, body of a lioness, and serpent as a tail) asked the famous riddle, "What walks with four legs in the morning, two in the afternoon, and three in the evening". If a brave man (or woman) answered wrong the Sphinx would kill and eat them. The answer was "man". Why? Because it describes the stages of life. A man crawls when he is a baby, walks as a grown man, and uses a cane when he grows old. ( Hence the 4 legs, 2 legs, then 3 legs.)

This riddle refers to humans. In the morning of life (infancy), a person crawls on all fours (four legs). At noon (adulthood), they walk on two legs. In the evening of life (old age), they often use a cane, which can be thought of as a third leg. The more they rely on the cane, the weaker they become.
