how do you kill Sphinx?

I was playing the other day and cornered the enemy Sphinx god in his home fort. I killed all his troops but he is seemingly invinsible and wont run as he is on home ground (and has no legs)

My army streamed up to him and he just sat there frying them with fire spells. Very frustrating. So how am I supposed to rout him? or kill him?

Is that his Last Province? If so, try to hunt his remaining dominion; once he's only got dominion in his besieged province, bring in 20+ priests and have them preach him out of existence. The Sphynx can be a very tough nut to crack militarily.

Of course, if he's got a relief army coming up, this may not be the best option.
