It is described as a winged monster, usually male, a symbol of kindness and nobility. Assyrians and Persians described the Sphinx as a winged bull with a face, beard and crown. In Greek mythology, the Sphinx became an evil thing for women, representing God's punishment. "The Sphinx" comes from the Greek word "Sphiggein", which means "nervous", because the Greeks imagined the Sphinx as a monster that would strangle people. Legend has it that Hera sent a sphinx to sit on the cliff near the city of Tebai, stopped passers-by and asked them a riddle taught by the Muse. Those who can't guess will be eaten by it. The riddle is: "What animal walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon and three legs at night? When he has the most legs, it is also the time when he walks the slowest and has the weakest physical strength. " Oedipus guessed the correct answer, and the answer was "man". The Sphinx was so ashamed that he jumped off a cliff and died (said to have been killed by Oedipus). According to Apollo dolores, the Sphinx was born to a mole and her son, Orthus, a two-headed dog. The sphinx's face symbolizes wisdom and knowledge. The body of the Sphinx, like a lion, symbolizes "strength" and the head of Pharaoh symbolizes "wisdom". The combination of the two is the combination of strength and wisdom.
Egyptians often use the Sphinx as a decoration along the tunnel, similar to the "Weng Zhong" in China, while the Sphinx in Giza Highland is only the largest one and is considered as the remains of a quarry.
