» LindaC_02 - Do you know the answer?

So folks, do you know the answer to the Sphinx's riddle?
What walks on all four legs in the morning, on three legs in the evening, and is weakest when it walks on all four?
Give the correct answer or risk being eaten alive by the Sphinx!

The answer is man. First, as a fragile baby, he crawls around on all fours. Then, as a child and man, he walks upright on two legs. When he reaches old age, he often uses a cane.

Hi Linda ....

I have alway held a mysterious balance with the Centaurs in Mythology.... it seems such a progressive instrument of man's dreams... Do you have any other pre- mythical info on this subject matter. I truly enjoy this insight.
Thanks for sharing.

If you have a moment..... FLY over to CLASSICAL DIVA and visit.

Keep the SONG in your HEART

Hi Roslind,

Thanks for stopping by. smile
Nope, I'm afraid that I haven't come across any significant research on the topic of centaurs.
It certainly is fascinating though isn't it? If you do happen across something be sure to share it, as will I.

Have a great day!
