The Riddle of the Sphinx What goes on four legs in the morning, on two legs at noon, and on three legs in the evening?

The Riddle of the Sphinx In Greek mythology, the Sphinx sat outside of Thebes and asked all travelers who passed by this riddle. If the traveler failed to solve the riddle, then the Sphinx killed him/her. And if the traveler answered the riddle correctly, then the Sphinx would destroy herself. Oedipus solved the riddle, and the Sphinx destroyed herself.

The answer: A man, who crawls on all fours as a baby, walks on two legs as an adult, and walks with a cane in old age.

Of course morning, noon, and night are metaphors for the times in a man's (person's) life. Such metaphors are common in riddles. There were two Thebes, apparently this Thebes was the one in Greece. And this Sphinx was apparently not the one at Giza, in Egypt.
