The Griffin, a part-eagle and part-lion creature, commonly represents a guardian, strength, courage, and leadership. The earliest representation of a griffin-like animal was found in ancient Egypt dating before 3000 BC, but the creature was later popularized throughought the Middle East, Asia, and, especially, in Greece. The Gladiolus, similarly symbolizing strength and power, is primarily native to the Mediterranean and South Africa with some species native to Greece.
