What was the riddle-asking monster of Greek mythology?
The Sphinx. Originally an Egyptian concept, the Sphinx was a lion with a woman's head and upper body. In the legend of Oedipus, the Sphinx sat outside oThebes and asked riddle of all who passed by. If the traveller failed to solve the riddle, then the Sphinx killed him. And if the traveler answered the riddle correctly, then the Sphinx would destroy herself. The riddlewas: What goes on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening? Oedipus solved the riddle, and the Sphinx destroyed herself. The answer, of course, is a human being - on all fours as a baby, upright in youth, and with a stick in old age.
