The Griffin symbolizes Burnsview.  It is believed to have originated from Indo-Iranian mythology, the “Gryphon”.  It was absorbed into the Greek culture as a fabulous creature symbolic of strength and became the Griffin.  Griffins are portrayed with a lion’s body, an eagle’s head, long ears, and eagle’s claws to indicate the need to combine intelligence and strength.  The mythical Griffin drew the chariot of the sun and guarded a golden treasure.
