Pro-modern mythology versus modern pop-culture
Jun 22 2010, 1:18 AM EDT
This article seems to have modern pop-culture mixed so thoroughly into it and unseparated from the mythological roots that I can't even tell if this creature has a tradition or if it's a modern creation of fantasy writers or the game industry. I know that some of the aspects of griffons the author has mentioned are of modern origins, and so it makes me doubt the credibility of the entire article, because the writer draws no distinction.

True. But until we identify what the cynogriffon is truly a reference from we can't distinguish between fiction and fictional-fact.Obviously you could always ask the page's author and hope for a reply. Cinder is likely to answer. 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

I seem to recall from a mythology class a mention of a cynogriffon-like animal (called by Chamrosh). The only difference was that they weren't supposed to be benevolent and the rear part was that of a serpent.
