The name...
Gryphons thanks her name from the famous “golden”dragon-statue,
which is located in the city-centre high above the traffic. The gryphon
is a legendary creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings
of an eagle. The gryphon is generally represented with four legs, wings
and a beak, with eagle-like talons in place of a lion's forelegs and feathered,
equine ears jutting from its skull.
