Sphinx Image
I had always thought the Sphinx was unique to Egyptian mythology. A quick check of WikiPedia taught me that the Sphinx is also featured in Greek, India and early European mythology. This mythological creature appears to have always be depicted with the body of a lion and the head of woman but it was the Europeans who appear to have inspired this rendition of the mythological creature. The Europeans, perhaps the French, were the people who adapted the mythology to include the head of the Sphinx being that of a beautiful woman.
