Alexander I as Sphinx

Some historians refer to Alexander I as a sphinx because he behaved in such mysteriously different ways during his reign as to make him seem as if he were multiple people. In many ways Alexander embodied everything and everyone that reflected Russia's struggle with democracy up to 1825. The Greeks portrayed the Sphinx with a human head and torso, the body of a lion, the wings of an eagle and a serpent for a tail. In a similar vein, create your own Alexander I sphinx from other Russian rulers, events and ideas we have studied so far. You do not need to say which body part is from whom or what – you only need to explain why that particular person or thing comprises part of who Alexander was as an emperor and as a man and how it reflected Russia's past. You must use at least four different rulers that we have studied this term in building your sphinx.
