GRIFFINS

Griffins, gryphons, however you care to spell it. Mythical hybrids of lion and eagle. Fierce, proud, feline, but with a hawk's directness--far more straightforward than, say, sphinxes with their riddles.

RELATED TOPICS: lions, tigers, etc. - hawks and eagles - sphinxes - pegasii - See also the full INDEX OF SUBJECTS.
