In Greek mythology, the hippogryph is a creature with the head and wings of an eagle and the body of a horse. According to legend, these creatures were once steeds of the gods, but were later given to mortals as gifts. Hippogryphs are known for their strength and power, and are often used as symbols of courage and nobility.
In artwork, hippogryphs are typically depicted as white or gray animals with large wingspans. They are often shown carrying riders on their backs, or pulling chariots through the sky. When drawn realistically, hippogryphs closely resemble actual eagles or other birds of prey. However, some artists choose to give them more horse-like features, such as manes and tails. Regardless of their appearance, hippogryphs are always shown as powerful and regal creatures.
