Griffins, Gryphons, Griffons
Gryphons are mythological beasts commonly depicted as having the head, forelegs and wings of an eagle, and the hindquarters, tail and occasionally ears of a lion.
They have been known for centuries as symbols of strength and vigilance, and have been called "The Hounds of Zeus."
In some mythologies, they represent the wealth of the sun. Or they are said to have hordes of fabulous treasure, which they guard endlessly.
There are several different accepted spellings—with the three most common being gryphon, griffin and griffon.
We have a nice selection of griffins at The Stone Griffin, which you can see by clicking HERE.
