Английская Википедия:Hieracosphinx
The hieracosphinx (Шаблон:Lang-grc) is a mythical beast found in Egyptian sculpture and European heraldry.[1] The god Haroeris ("Horus the Elder") was usually depicted as one.[2] The name Hieracosphinx comes from the Greek Шаблон:Lang, itself from Шаблон:Lang (hierax "hawk") + Шаблон:Lang ("sphinx").[3]
Description
The Hieracosphinx has the head of a hawk and the body of a lion. The name was coined by Herodotus to the hawk-headed sphinxes that he saw in Egypt; the other being the ram-headed sphinx which Herodotus called Criosphinx (Шаблон:Lang-grc).
In popular culture
The Hieracosphinx is the name of a monster card in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game.[4]
In the Real-time strategy game Age of Mythology, worshipping Bast allows players to upgrade their Sphinxes to Hieracosphinxes.
