Etymology[edit | edit source]

Based on the Sphinx of Giza, which, in legends, guards the gates to the city and asks a famous riddle: "What walks on four legs in the morning, two in the afternoon, and three at night" to which the answer is "mankind". It tears to shreds those who cannot answer. Oedipus correctly answers the question, prompting the Sphinx to kill itself. In Egyptian mythology, the Criosphinx is simply a ram-headed Sphinx (classic Sphinxes, such as the one at Giza, are human-headed). Criosphinxes are associated with the Egyptian god, Amun, and are most famously depicted in the row of sphinx statues guarding the route between Luxor Temple and Karnak. The Crio- in Criosphinx comes from the Greek word "Krios" which means Ram.
