Грифоны

Griffin Bracelet from the Oxus Treasure, 500-400 BC

Animalium, ferarum et bestiarum - Griffin -1663

Грифо́ны — вымышленные крылатые существа, наполовину львы, наполовину орлы. Имеют острые когти и белоснежные крылья.
Впервые их упоминает поэт VI в. до н. э. Аристей из Проконнеса, а также Эсхил и Геродот.

Считалось, что родом они из Индии, где они охраняли огромные сокровищницы с золотом.

1470-1482

Эти мистические существа символизируют власть над небом и землей, силу, бдительность и гордыню. Грифон также стал атрибутом богини возмездия — Немезиды: он вращал её колесо фортуны.

Первоначально в образе грифона изображали сатану, завлекающего людские души в ловушку, в дальнейшем это животное стало символом двойной (божественной и человеческой) природы Иисуса Христа.
Грифон — часто встречающаяся негеральдическая фигура на гербах. Символизирует могущество, власть, бдительность, быстроту и силу.
