I wanted to ask you something. Which is... what's your name? This article title is conjecture. Although the article subject is canon, no official name for it has been given. |
The Sphinx Lair was the ruins of an Isu site located on the southern shore of Lake Kopais in Boeotia, Greece which housed the Sphinx, a hybrid creature created by the Isu's Olympos Project.
Within the ruins was a statue of a sphinx standing on a pedestal, and around it were pillars with various pictographs. By night, the pillars lit up, and seemed to flare with unearthly fire.[1]
During the Peloponnesian War the site was visited by the Spartan misthios Kassandra, who was pursuing one of the artifacts needed to seal Atlantis.[2] There, Kassandra defeated the sphinx by answering its riddles correctly. She then claimed the artifact masquerading as one of the Sphinx's feathers.[3]
