Lair of the Sphinx

Overview of the lair

The Ruined Temple 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 result of 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.

During the Peloponnesian War, the site was visited by the Spartan misthios Kassandra, who was pursuing one of the artifacts needed to seal Atlantis. There, Kassandra defeated the sphinx by answering its riddles correctly. She then claimed the artifact masquerading as one of the Sphinx's feathers.
