Probably the next oldest among noted
riddles is the famous Riddle of the Sphinx,
which. by the way. has no connection with the
sphinx that is famous in these days of the
twentieth century. In Greek mythology
the most famous sphinx was that of Thebes
in Beotia, first mentioned by HesiOd. Ac-
cording to Apollonius she had the face of
woman, the feet and tail of lion, and the
wings of a bird She dwelt on bald, rocky
mountain at the southeast corner OF
Copaic Lake. The muses. taught her a riddle,
which she compelled all Thebans who encoun-
tered her to answer. Whenever they failed
she carried one of them off and devoured him.
The riddle was this; What is that
which IS four-footed, three-footed and two
footed?" At last Gzdipus the King correctly
guessed that the answer was a man, who as a
child crawls on all fours, as an adult walks up
right and as an old man walks with a stick, or
a third foot. When Gdipus made known his
discovery, of course there was nothing lett
for the sphinx; she couldn't have Theban
for her meal every time she was hungry. SO
she did the sensible thing for sphinx to do.
killed herself by jumping from the apex OF the
mountain into an abyss.

Homer's death, according to a tradition
which, although 1t found its way into Plutarch,
might not wholly satisfy the historic skeptic,
was caused by chagrin at his failure to guess
the following riddle propounded to him by the
~~hermen of los;
What we caught we threw away; what we
could not catch we kept" 1t indeed IS sad to
think that simply glimpse of a ine-tooth
comb might have been the means of prolonging
the great Homer's life.

By Everett Bancroft

DIDDLES are probably the oldest extant
IN form of humor. They sprang from
mans earliest perception that there were such
things as analogies in nature. The sun, moon
stars. smoke fire air, wind and man himself
were among the earliest subjects OF riddles
For instance What flies forever and rests
never? Plainly enough, the wind,
What is wingless and legless, yet flies fast
and cannot be imprisoned? The voice.
What can go in the face of the sun and
leave no shadow? The wind surely, and
perhaps also the voice.
New-York tribune., 1905-04-23

Josephus tells how great was Solomon
both at making and solving riddles, and how
once he won a sum of money from Hiram King
Of Tyre, in a riddle contest and afterward lost
It in 4 similar way to one Of his subjects
An amusing variation of the riddle was this
historic incident When the ScythianS were
invaded by Cyrus, they sent him a messenger
bearing arrows and a rat and frog which was
Il way of saying by lesson-objects that unless
he could hide in a hole like rat, or in water
like frog, he would not escape their arrows.
New-York tribune., 1905-04-23

Cleobulus, one of the seven wise men of
Greece who lived SO years before Christ in
vented the following:
There is a father with twice six sons; these
sons have each thirty daughters, who are party
Colored, having one cheek white, the other
black. They never see each others faces, nor
live above twenty-four hours"
A strange and unsociabe family one
IS tempted to think; but all know them, sons
and daughters-days, months and year
x
A variation of the same riddle is to be found
in the ancient Latin and is translated thus:
IN the birthtime of the world, ere the heavens
and earth,
Sun or moon, herb or flood, in their primal
being rose,
Came my brother, and came I, twin children
to the birth
And we wander from that hour, two brothers
and two foes.
Prom the day was so begun our long alternate
race.
New-York tribune., 1905-04-23

The most ancient riddle on record is to be
found in the fourteenth chapter of the book OF
Judges;
g" And Samson said unto them. l will now
put forth a riddle unto you: if We can certainly
declare it me within the seven days OF the
feast. and find it out then l will give you
thirty sheets and thirty change of garments.
-. And they said to him, Put forth thy riddle,
that we may hear it. And he said unto them,
Out Of the eater came forth meat, and out OF
the strong came forth sweetness.
The Bible will tell what the answer was.
