Asked by the Sphinx to Oedipus, if I'm not wrong... xD

Man - he crawls on all four feet as a baby, walks upright on two feet as an adult, and walks with a cane - therefore with three feet - as an old man.

The answer is Man, who crawls as a baby, walks as an adult, and needs a cane as he ages. This is known as the riddle of the Great Sphynx, located at Giza, in Egypt.

The massive, half lion half Man structure is more than 2500 years old, and is comprised largely of a natural rock formation that was carved and enhanced by the Ancient Egyptians.

Legend has it that travelers would be caught in its paws, and if they could not answer the riddle, the beast devoured them.

That old riddle is still circulating?
A baby in the morning of life, a man in young adulthood, and an old man with a cane at the end of life.

Is this the one the sphinx posed to that Greek guy?

Humans. When they're a baby, they crawl. When they're older they walk and then when they're an old person they use a cane.
