The hieracosphinx ({{lang-grc|Ιερακόσφιγξ}}) is a mythical beast found in Egyptian sculpture and European heraldry.[1] The god Haroeris ("Horus the Elder") was usually depicted as one.[2] The name Hieracosphinx comes from the Greek Ιερακόσφιγξ, which means Ιέραξ (Hawk) + Σφίγξ (Sphinx). DescriptionThe Hieracosphinx has the head of a hawk and the body of a lion. The name was coined by Herodotus to the hawk-headed sphinxes that he saw in Egypt (the other being the ram-headed sphinx which Herodotus called Criosphinx ({{lang-grc|Κριόσφιγξ}})).
