Does a unicorn a hippogriff or a sphinx have a horse's body? |
[Edit] |
[Edit]
The unicorn is usually portrayed as a majestic, white horse with a single helix horn in the center of its forehead. The horn was believed to have magical properties, like being able to purify objects it touched.
The hippogriff has its front half composed of parts of an eagle, including the head, front legs with talons, and wings. The rear portion is made of a horse. It is supposedly the offspring of a mare and a griffin.
A Sphinx has a man's face but a lion's body. It's most famous example is the legendary, stone Sphinx of Egypt, but it is found represented in many ancient cultures.
