- And now a little history about griffin:
-
- The griffin (also spelt gryphon, griffon or gryphin) is a legendary creature with
-  the body of a lion and the
- head of an eagle with the addition of prominent ears. The female has the wings of
-  an eagle. The griffin is
- generally represented with four legs, wings and a beak, with eagle-like talons in
-  place of a lion's forelegs
- and equine ears jutting from its skull. Some writers describe the tail as a serpe
- nt. See the entry European
- dragon for a 19th century painting of St George and the dragon, showing a dragon
- very like a
- classically-conceived griffin.
-
- Classical and heraldic griffons are male and female. A so-called "male" griffin,
- called a keythong in a single
- 15th-century English heraldic manuscript, is an anomaly that belongs strictly to
- a late phase of English
- heraldry.
