The Mystery of The Sphinx :
A long long time ago, the city of Thebes was guarded by a sphinx, a creature with the head of a woman, the body of a lion and the wings of an eagle.
She asked the same riddle to every passer-by and when they could not answer, she consumed them.

‘Man,’ answered Oedipus. ‘As a child he crawls on all fours, in his prime he walks on two legs and when he is old he leans on a stick.’ (http://www.english-for-students.com/The-Mystery-of-The-Sphinx.html)
