| Legend says that men were welcomed on Califia’s magical island once a year for a period of 24 hours, but that time eventually had to end and to extend it, for any reason would lead to certain death and the griffins, so carefully trained by the Amazons from birth that man-flesh was to be their sustenance, would dine. Portrayed with a lion's body, an eagle's head, long pointed ears and an eagle's claws and larger than a horse, griffins were cultivated to seek out the flesh of men. |
