The origins of the sphinx.

The Greek sphinx was known to pose riddles to passersby and devour those who couldn't solve them. The most famous example is the Sphinx of Thebes, which was defeated by Oedipus by answering its riddle.

The concept of the sphinx also spread across many civilizations of antiquity. In Greek mythology, the sphinx was described as a creature with the head of a woman, the body of a lion, and the wings of a bird.

Among the most famous statues of sphinxes, we can mention:

- The Great Sphinx of Giza: The large sphinx statues located near the pyramids of Giza in Egypt are among the most iconic. They are generally associated with the funerary complex of Pharaoh Khafre and are remarkable for their imposing size and mystery.

- The Sphinx of Amathus: Located in Cyprus, the Sphinx of Amathus is a sculpture made of limestone dating back to the Archaic period. It is considered one of the oldest examples of sphinxes in Greek art.

-  The Sphinx of Tanis: Discovered in Tanis, Egypt, the Sphinx of Tanis is a colossal statue made of granite representing a reclining sphinx. It is famous for its monumental size and artistic details.

- The Sphinx of Thebes: Located near the Valley of the Kings in Egypt, the Sphinx of Thebes is a statue dating back to the New Egyptian Empire. Although partially destroyed, it is still considered an important representation of the Egyptian sphinx.

- The Sphinx of Delphi: In the ancient city of Delphi in Greece, the Sphinx of Delphi was considered a guardian of the oracle. It was carved into the rock and stood at the entrance of the sanctuary of Delphi.

These sphinx statues illustrate the continued fascination with this mythical creature across different cultures and eras.

Representations of sphinxes have also been found in other ancient cultures, such as Mesopotamia, India, and Southeast Asia. In each culture, the sphinx may have variations in its appearance and symbolic meaning, but it is often associated with themes such as protection, wisdom, mystery, and transformation.
