Griffins origins can be traced back to ancient Mesopotamian mythology. Griffins, with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle, were originally depicted as fierce guardians of treasure and sacred sites in ancient Mesopotamian art and literature. Over time, these creatures became symbols of strength, power, and guardianship in various cultures, including Greek, Persian, and medieval European folklore. The griffin's hybrid nature and role as a protector reflect the blending of different cultural influences and the enduring fascination with mythical creatures throughout history.
