What the Gryphon from Wonderland is reading?

@Barbben50 has been impressed by the life of Alexander the Great since the childhood and suggested "Fire from Heaven: A Novel of Alexander the Great ''. @annamaria.1901 revealed about the Alexander the Great chariot pulled by winged griffins. She also suggested "The mad women's ball" by Victoria Mas and explained the connection: "1)Madness,hysteria, bipolar disorder can mean live in the world longing for the sky. 2) Ball: means of liberation. 3) Gryphon: heaven and heart can coexist." 

@katiatejada suggested “Édipo Rei” by Sófocles and, facing the doubts, mentioned the crisis of identity of the Gryphon searching for the Sphinx. @semperluxus sent the amazing idea to the Gryphon to read, and possibly visit “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them" by Newt Scamander and r J K Rowling, which features an extraordinary array of magical creatures, and has delighted generations of wizarding readers. 

Another option for the Gryphon is to visit Metamorphoses by Ovid. The poem chronicles the history of the world from its creation to the deification of Julius Caesar in a mythico-historical framework comprising over 250 myths. 

The griffin, griffon, or gryphon that also lives in Wonderland is a legendary creature with the body, tail, and back legs of a lion; the head and wings of an eagle. Griffins, like many other fictional creatures, frequently appear within works under mythology and the fantasy genre. Since classical antiquity, griffins have been known for guarding treasures.
