The classic riddle presented to [[Oedipus Rex]] by [[Riddling Sphinx|the Sphinx]] in [[Greek Mythology]]. He was the first one to solve it—all the others who failed were eaten by the Sphinx—after which she threw herself down a chasm. This is [[Older Than Feudalism|one of the oldest]] [[Stock Puzzle]]s out there, going back to the Greek writer Apollodorus in the second century CE.
