The Sphinx is the mythical beast that proposes a riddle to Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, the Sphinx is a gruesome combination of body parts from a woman and from wildlife. She has a hostile attitude to mortals, whom she likes to kill and eat fresh. She originally comes to ancient Greece from Egypt or Ethiopia.
