With
the head, wings and front quarters of an eagle and the body
and hind quarters of a lion, the griffin is a mythological
creature that has been subject of centuries of artists'
renderings. It appears most of the griffins shown here are
female -- male griffins have no wings. The pub contains
many depictions of griffins, and links are provided to view
and learn more about them. The pub uses the current English
spelling for the creature's name, but among its more traditional
spellings are gryphon and griffon. |
