Bromford and Sphinx …

 

One of the biggest riddle in the whole history of mankind.

A sphinx is a mythical creature with the head of a woman, the haunches of a lion, and the wings of an eagle. 

She challenges those who encounter her to answer a riddle, and kills and eats them when they fail to solve the riddle. All of this accorsing to Greek tradition and Greek myth.

Whereas in Egyptian mythology, in contrast, the sphinx is typically depicted as a man, an androsphinx, and is seen as a benevolent representation of strength and ferocity, usually of a pharaoh. Unlike Greek or Levantine/Mesopotamian ones, Egyptian sphinxes are not winged.

Unfortunately, good old Oedipus encountered one of the first, the Greek versions and got himself killed and eaten for not being able to answer the Sphinx's final riddle, »What have I got in my pocket? «

The llama is reacting more puzzled than nervous.

»And you want a dangerous creature like that as your new animal companion, dude? Thank goodness and the whole Greek pantheon, this thing is not real. I've no competition to fear. «

»As I said, « I say, »I am running out of options. So, don't feel too save, animal. «

»What have you got in your pocket? «

»My hands, animal. Just my hands. «
