Aline said: Actually, the sphynx is 1/3 lion, 1/3 eagle (or falcon), and 1/3 human. Saying that she's only a cat is a bit of a misunderstanding from the author.
Either that, or maybe the artist couldnt draw a sexy actual sphynx and just went with "cat girl".
Come to think of it, Manticores are also a cluster of animals, havent seen any personification of those either. I guess its kinda hard for artist to make a "Moe" girl out of mystical monsters like that. I mean, look at Nue from Touhou. She looks nothing like what shes supposed to represent.
Greeks butchered alot of the egyptian mythology when they occupied that area. many of the egyptian gods and godesses were fuzed with the greek mythology to try to bring them in without as much culture shock. for example the goddess Bastet who was origionally a sun goddess before Ra, became a sister of apollo the sun god in greek mythology before she was eventually written out of the tellings of both cultures.
Helios was the sun god, Apollo was the god of light, music, poetry and diseases. His sister was named Artemis, which was the goddess of nature/hunt. Greeks just copied Bastet, named her Aelurus and made her goddess of the moon.

Whoops my bad, thought I made some kind of mistake. Though I think Artemis origionally had the moon duty aswell.

Actually, if you want to be really picky, Helios was the TITAN of the sun.
You know, when I first saw this, I said, "The answer is man!" Because of that sphinx story, remember?
But the whole questionare thing is totally cheap! I mean, answer wrong: you end up her boy toy. Answer right: you'll still become her boy toy, only she'll use force now.
In short, you wanna keep your virginity; send a woman to them ruins; arm yourself with tazers, pepper spray and whatever else will distract her; or take/make the back entrance into the ruins and pray she never finds both it and you.
are sphinx and anubis working together? the sphinx is outside of the ruins and anubis is inside with the mummys. the sphinx are not care about woman so they can enter the ruins and anubis change them into mummys to increase the numbers of servants of the pharaoh that´ts what i think. the only way to overcome this monsters to attack is when there is a relationship to the paraoh or show them that your stronger and win againest them. maybe then the victor become the new pharaoh.
