Sphinx

The Sphinx hails from Umm el-'Amed, a Hellenistic city perched atop the Ladder of Tyre. Around 287 BC, one temple sprang to life in Umm el-'Amed, followed by another roughly seven decades later, in 222 BC. Built long after Alexander's passing, these temples flourished during the Ptolemaic period, blending Greek spirituality with the pagan practices of the local inhabitants.
