Then there is the famous riddle of the sphinx.
In Greek mythology, the Sphinx sat outside of Thebes and asked this riddle of all travelers who passed by. If the traveler failed to solve the riddle, then the Sphinx killed him/her. And if the traveler answered the riddle correctly, then the Sphinx would destroy herself. The riddle:
What goes on four legs in the morning, on two legs at noon, and on three legs in the evening?
Oedipus solved the riddle, and the Sphinx destroyed herself.
Now we have Dracula, the one depicted here is the one from the Castlevania series. He is particularly famous for the following line:
"What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets!"
Now what does this got do with the riddle?
Well, the answer is; A man, who crawls on all fours as a baby, walks on two legs as an adult, and walks with a cane in old age.
Of course morning, noon, and night are metaphors for the times in a man's (person's) life. Such metaphors are common in riddles. There were two Thebes, apparently this Thebes was the one in Greece. And this Sphinx was apparently not the one at Giza, in Egypt.
So our friend Dracula is famous for the line "What is man?" which is also the question needed to that description. I.e. the answer.
