    To the ancient Greeks, the griffin was the king of all creatures. 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, and an eagle’s talons as its front feet
    . As the lion was traditionally considered the king of the beasts and the eagle was the king of the birds, the griffin was thought to be an especially powerful and majestic creature.
    The griffin was known for guarding treasures and priceless possessions.
    In its body, the griffin is blessed with the speed, flight, and penetrating vision of the eagle and the strength, courage, and majesty of the lion.
    In ancient Greek mythology, griffins were the “Hounds of Zeus”. It was said that a griffin pulled the chariot of Apollo the sun god. Very appropriate, as the griffin was thought to be stronger than an ox or a horse, and had the ability to fly, thus carrying the sun god to and from the sun and earth. The griffin also pulled the chariots of Pharaoh, Nemesis, and Alexander the Great. A major heraldic animal,
    whose images the Greeks used to guard tombs. It has been emblazoned on the shields of knights and on the coats of arms of royalty. Its magic talons have detected poison and its feathers have cured blindness.
