What riddles do you know?
Thu Apr 12, 2018 8:36 pm
I have known this riddle from the plays "Oedipus the King". It is from the sphinx, he said
"What goes on four feet in the morning, two feet at noon, and three feet in the evening?
it means a man is a baby in the morning of his life and he crawls on four feet.
A man is an adult in the noon – the middle part – of his life and he walks on two feet.
But when a man is old, in the evening of his life, he walks with a cane, on three feet.

It's the part of the play 'Oedipus the King'
The riddle asked by the Sphinx. It is said to have guarded the entrance to the Greek city of Thebes.
"Which creature in the morning goes on four legs, at mid-day on two, and in the evening upon three, and the more legs it has, the weaker it be?"

I don't any riddles. I think I should have this kind of information.
So I can talk with others.

It's not a secret.
But I still can't tell you about the riddle.
