Plural of androsphinx; mythological figures that combine a male human head or torso with an animal body.
From Greek 'andros' (male) + 'sphinx' (the famous mythological creature). The plural adds '-es' following Greek pluralization rules. This term appears in classical archaeology and mythology.
Unlike the famous Sphinx which is female, androsphinxes are the male version—ancient Egypt loved symmetry, so they made both male and female versions of their mythological guardians!
