What is a lion with wings called?

Answer 1

Ah, a lion with wings is called a griffin, my friend. Imagine the grace of a lion combined with the freedom of flight, creating a majestic creature that roams both the land and the sky. Let your imagination soar as you picture this beautiful and powerful being in your mind's eye.

Answer 2

Griffin: The Griffin is a legendary creature with the head, beak and wings of an eagle, the body of a lion and occasionally the tail of a serpent or scorpion. Its origin lies somewhere in the Middle East where it is found in the paintings and sculptures of the ancient Babylonians, Assyrians and Persians.

Lammasu: Lamassu are human headed lions that guard the gates of Assyrian temples and palaces. They have wings, and therefore the power of flight and have great strength.

Shedu: Similar to the Lamassu, this beast that is from Assyrian-Babylonian mythology has a human's head, the body of a bull and wings. It guards temples and palaces.

Answer 3

If you are asking about The Bible

- - a lion, when used figuratively, generally (but not always) means 'courageous justice'. Jesus is likened to the 'lion of the tribe of Judah.' Jesus is certainly both 'courageous'; and perfectly reflects Jehovah's cardinal quality of 'justice'. (But Satan is also depicted as a lion; so in this case it would picture 'devouring; tearing apart')

- - Wings, when used figuratively in the Bible, generally refers to 'agility, speed, and swiftness.'

[But wings might also represent 'protection' as a hen provides protection for her chicks; also 'gathering together' (again as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings for 'protection'.) (Matthew 23:37)

It can also mean 'carrying someone along' (Exodus 19:4).

The context would generally determine what it might mean.]

Another Answer:

A winged lion was the official symbol of the 1st great World Empire of Babylon. Both lions and dragons (winged) decorated the gates of the City.

A lion usually represents 'great power' and wings sometimes represented that sovereign power or 'lordship' over the might or armies of the empire. Though wings also represent speed at times.

A mythology that was known in biblical times had the world beginning with birds and then afterwards came the 'race of the blessed immortal gods' - humans. An ancient Greek poet, Aristophanes, even makes note of this.

Some call the time of Nimrod as the 1st great apostasy. He had a 'winged bull' as one of the many statues made of him. The winged bull was also used from Persepolis.
