Sphinx Riddle

The Sphinx Riddle refers to the famous riddle posed by the mythological creature, the Sphinx, in ancient Greek mythology. The riddle asks: "What walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening?" The answer is a human: as a baby (morning of life), a person crawls on all fours; as an adult (noon of life), they walk on two legs; and in old age (evening of life), they use a cane, adding a third leg. This riddle symbolizes the stages of human life and the passage of time.
