A griffin is a mythical monster with the head and wings of an eagle and
the body and tail of a lion. From the Latin gryphus, griffins were revered
in medieval times and animated in sculpture found upon churches and cathedrals
throughout Europe. The strength and grace of a lion and the alert panoramic
sight of an eagle characterize the griffin's appeal.
