| "These monsters, as it appears, were not set up as mere ornaments in the avenues leading to temples and palaces, but they served to typify the different deities worshiped by the Egyptians. The Androsphinx (head of man, body of lion) symbolizing wisdom and power, represented the king and those deities who appeared in human form, while Criosphinx (head of ram, body of lion) impersonated Ra." -Samuel Binion |
