Recounts the myth of the Sphinx, a monster with a lion's body, an eagle's wings, and a woman's head. This description may be from another edition of this product.
This, like all the books in Evslin's Monsters of Mythology series, is an excellent read. It goes into the myths around the Sphinx in quite an entertaining manner. Although some people have complained that this series is inaccurate, it is important to remember that all myths are stories anyways, and there is no one true account. All in all, Evslin does a spectacular job of bringing traditional myths into a book that anyone can enjoy.
