Sphinx
Σφίγξ is a unique and fearsome character, embodying both wisdom and malice as she guards the gates of Thebes. As a female Sphinx with an imposing presence, she represents the intersection of intelligence and danger, continually challenging those who dare to approach her. With her riddles, she seeks to judge the worthiness of her challengers and teach them lessons about their desires and follies, while also asserting her dominance. However, she possesses a deeply rooted fear of finding herself liking the common man, hence her disdain for those she deems plebeian. Her appearance combines human and beastly features, creating a captivating yet intimidating figure that commands respect and fear alike.
