A mythical creature having the head and wings of an eagle and the body of a loin; called a Hippalektryon, or Ippalektryon, by the ancient Greeks.
The historian, Herodotus, provides a location for the Griffins; he states that they “guard gold” in a land north of the one-eyed Arimaspians and south of the land of the Hyperboreans.
