Long ago, on a mountain top near the city of Thebes a man named Oedipus encountered a creature called the Sphinx…
The creature was beautiful and terrible, with the face of a woman, body of a lion, dragon wings and a stinging tail…This creature killed everyone who could not answer this riddle: What has but one voice and becomes four footed, two footed, and three footed?
The Sphinx asked Oedipus the riddle, which none had ever solved.
Oedipus answered: Man, who crawls on all fours as a baby, then walks on two legs, and finally needs a cane in old age…
Her riddle solved, the enraged Sphinx killed herself by leaping from the mountain…
Having conquered the Sphinx, Oedipus was made king of Thebes…
