In Greek mythology, the Sphinx is depicted as a fearsome monster with a woman's head and breasts, a lion's body, eagle's wings, and a serpent-headed tail. Its name is believed to be derived from the Greek word "sphingo," meaning "to strangle," possibly alluding to the way lionesses hunt and strangle their prey.
