HippalektryonGriffin

A creature having the head and wings of an eagle and the body of a lion.

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; perhaps more properly spelled Ippalektryon.
