The Sphinx so impressed the philosopher Hegel that he pronounced the creature " the symbol of the symbolic itself." The lavishly illustrated "Book of the Sphinx" confirms Hegel' s lofty judgment, finding the Sphinx not just as the guardian of the pyramids on Egypt's Giza plateau or as the beautiful man-eater with a deadly riddle in Greek mythology but in tragedies, paintings, and opera as well as murder mysteries, brothels, bars, and advertisements.
