>>13378174>This sphinx is described as having the head (and in later times, breasts) of a woman, the body of a lion, and the wings of an eagle. >Egyptian sphinx was viewed as benevolent in contrast to the malevolent Greek version and was thought of as a guardian often flanking the entrances to temples.I think the physical description describes it quite accurately, and I can certainly see it as a guardian with its nature to try to warn humans of disasters and stuff.
