Griffin

The griffin, griffon, or gryphon is a legendary creature with the body, tail, and back legs of a lion, and the head and wings of an eagle with its talons on the front legs. In Greek and Roman texts, griffins and Arimaspians were associated with the gold deposits of Central Asia. The earliest classical writings on the topic were derived from Aristeas and preserved by Herodotus and Aeschylus.
