No, silly - once you research Enchantment 10 and get "Animate Stone", the sphinx starts walking around and kicking rear, while the oracle still sits around drooling on itself. And the sacred statue can be killed by militia. The Sphinx's walking animation ranks up with best in the game!
It's unfortunate, though, that it cannot patrol; it only fights when stormed.
