斯芬克斯(Sphinx)最初源於古埃及的神話,是長有翅膀的怪物,通常為雄性,當時的傳說中有三種斯芬克斯——人面獅身的Androsphinx、羊頭獅身的Criosphinx(阿曼的聖物)、鷹頭獅身的Hieracosphinx。亞述人和波斯人則把史芬克斯描述為一隻長有翅膀的公牛,長著人面、絡腮鬍子,戴有皇冠。到了希臘神話,斯芬克斯卻變成雌性的邪惡之物,代表「神的懲罰」。“Sphinx”源自希臘語“Sphiggein”,意思是“拉緊”或“結合”,因為希臘人把斯芬克斯想像成一個會使人致死的怪物。 在希臘神話中,赫拉派斯芬克斯坐在忒拜城附近的懸崖上,攔住過往的路人,用繆斯所傳授的謎語問他們,猜不中者就會被牠吃掉,這個謎語是:“什麼動物早晨用四條腿走路,中午用兩條腿走路,晚上用三條腿走路?腿最多的時候,也正是他走路最慢,體力最弱的時候。”俄狄浦斯猜中了正確答案,謎底是“人”,但斯芬克斯不服输,又给俄狄浦斯出了一个谜语:"什么东西先长,然后变短,最后又变长?"狄浦斯猜出了谜底"影子"。于是斯芬克斯羞愧萬分,投海自溺而死(一說為被俄狄浦斯所殺)。據雅典的阿波羅多洛斯記載,斯芬克斯是厄喀德那同她的兒子雙頭犬奧特休斯所生。斯芬克斯的人面象徵著智慧和知識。一說史芬克斯之谜在更深層次的表現為“恐懼和誘惑”,即“現實生活”。 在歐洲的裝飾藝術裡,斯芬克斯隨著文藝復興而得到了很大的重視。隨後,與古埃及相近的斯芬克斯形象傳進各個其他文化中,儘管因為不同的描述而形象各異以及在不同文化傳統裡得到不同的發展。 一般來說,斯芬克斯常常與皇家的墓葬和宗教廟宇等建築形式聯繫在一起。最早的已知斯芬克斯形象被發現在土耳其的公元前9500年的哥贝克力石阵。
