The Sphinx is a mythical creature that appears in Egyptian, Mesopotamian and Greek mythology. The upper body is a beautiful human female with breasts, and the lower body is generally a lion with eagle wings. The origin of the Sphinx is said to be ancient Egypt, and it existed as the guardian of the king. The largest and most famous sphinx is the Great Sphinx of Giza, situated on the Great Pyramids of Giza. In King Oedipus, the masterpiece of ancient Greek tragedy, the Sphinx, at the behest of Hera, captured a passerby on a cliff near Thebes Castle and asked them “Which creature has one voice and yet becomes four-footed and two-footed and three-footed?” whoever that couldn‘t answer the question will be killed and eaten by her. However, the Oedipus solved the question by answering it is Man, who crawls on all fours as a baby, then walks on two foot as an adult, and then uses a walking stick in old age. Hearing the correct answer, thought she had lost her face, and then jumped from the rock into the sea and died. As a result, Oedipus saved Thebes Castle from the Sphinx, then he was worshiped as the gleam of hope of the country, and married Jocasta, who was supposed to be his mother, and created a series of tragedies after that. If you just focus on her beautiful face, plump breasts, the Sphinx just looks like a beautiful human woman, but it’s just an illusion. The cruel and terrifying wild lion’s body is her true nature. When the men were attracted by her , their throats had already been cut open and fallen into a sea of blood. That is why after The Renaissance, the image of the Sphinx has come to be portrayed as a cruel and erotic creture that seduces men and leads them to death. This story has also become the subject of painters and they made several masterpieces. Among them, works by Dominique Angle, Gustave Moreau, Fernand Khnopff, Franz von Stuck, etc. are the most famous paintings.
