Description
This Sphinx originates from the Hellenistic city of Umm el-'Amed, on the Ladder of Tyre. Two temples were built in Umm el-'Amed roughly around 287 and 222 BC. Long after the death of Alexander the Great, they were constructed in the Ptolemaic period, combining elements of Greek religion and the pagan tendencies of the local population.
