Description

The Sphinx: "What is it that walks on four
feet and two feet and three feet and has only one voice.
When it walks on most feet it is the weakest?"

Oedipus: "A Man"

Oedipus answered correctly as he stood before the sphinx that blocked the mountain. I wonder... are there sphinxes blocking other mountains and if so.. where can I find one? I should like to talk to her!

If you talk to one, and succeed, what of the sphinx I should wonder, and if you fail, well so much for that. More so, the sphinx was said to guard more than simply the road, the sphinx is said to guard the gateway of time, which I seek to own.
