I need a myth?

Question

I need a myth that involves comunication between humans and animals.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

In the Sigurd or Siegfried saga(the first is the Scandinavian variation ,the second is the German) after the hero eats the heart of the dragon he can understand the speech of birds, and the birds warn him that Regin the dwarf is going to betray him for the treasure

Answer 2

Mine is not a myth, but I can actually tell what my animals want. Without them having to make a sound. I think that when humans and animals are connected (like I am with my 3 cats, a bunny, a dog, and 2 birds) then they are linked. I know that sounds crazy, but if you came to my house just for a short while you would see that it is not any crazier than being a parent that knows what their baby or toddler wants before they can talk.

The Sphinx is the monster with a riddle.

The Sphinx comes to Thebes
When King Laius 1 of Thebes was murdered, along with his herald, by an unknown in a Phocian road, the king's brother-in-law Creon 2 came to power. It is during this first regency of Creon 2 that the Sphinx came to Boeotia and Thebes, some say sent by Hera, others by Hades, and systematically started ravaging the fields and gobbling up people

Riddling Beast
The Sphinx (who some call Phix) had the face of a woman, the breast, feet and tail of a lion, and the wings of a bird. She had learned a riddle from the MUSES, which she chanted in inharmonious songs, and sitting on Mount Phicium, propounded it to any Theban willing to take the risk of solving it. As she declared that she would not depart unless anyone interpreted her riddle, Creon 2, in accordance with an oracle, issued a proclamation promising that he would give the kingdom of Thebes and his sister Jocasta in marriage to the person solving the riddle of the Sphinx.

The riddle
The chance to get both kingdom and queen tempted many. But the Sphinx had also declared that she would destroy whoever failed to give the correct answer. And while nobody was able to give the correct answer, she devoured the candidates one by one. This was the riddle of the Sphinx:

"What is that which has one voice and yet becomes four-footed and two-footed and three-footed?" [Apollodorus, Library 3.5.7]

When many had already perished, Oedipus, having heard the proclamation, came to Thebes, and meeting the Sphinx, gave the right answer, declaring that the riddle referred to man; for as a little child he is four-footed, as an adult two-footed, and as an old man he uses a staff as a third limb.

The Sphinx helps to fulfill oracles
The Sphinx kept her promise, for on hearing the solution to her riddle, she threw herself from the citadel and died. In this way Oedipus became king of Thebes, and by marrying his own mother Queen Jocasta, he unwittingly fulfilled the oracles that had declared that he would kill his father and lie with his mother.

The previous account is false
Some are not satisfied with this account, which they find to be a product of wild imagination. For who has seen sphinxes ravishing citizens and eating them raw, destroying fields, and chanting childish riddles on the top of a mountain or from a citadel? So, believing the Sphinx can be easily explained, they, much like Oedipus, answer this riddle by making up their own mature stories, which they find so perfectly rational, that even a child could inmediately grasp it.

Another account
So for example, some have affirmed that the Sphinx came with a fleet on a piratical expedition, and having put in at Anthedon, she seized a mountain, and used it for plundering raids. Oedipus then came with a Corinthian army, and put an end to this unconfortable guerrilla warfare.

Yet another account
Others assert that the Sphinx was just a woman. According to them, she was the lovely daughter of King Laius 1. He was so fond of her that he told her the secret oracle—only known to kings—that Delphi had delivered to Cadmus, the founder of Thebes. Laius 1 had many sons by concubines, they say, but the oracle applied only to Jocasta and her sons. So when any of her brothers came in order to claim the throne, she would say that if they really were sons of Laius 1 they should be acquainted with the oracle. So they were asked, and when they could not answer she put them to death as potential usurpers on the ground that they had no valid claim to the kingdom, or to relationship. Oedipus, they affirm, was able to give the right answer because he had been told the oracle in a dream.
