Subject: (urth) Sphinx: Mother's mother

I was thinking about "I am your mother, and your mother's mother".  One riddle 
of the sphinx was "Which daughter gives birth to her mother in turn?" or 
something like that, and the answer was night and day.  Pretty banal, but 
could that explain the line?  It doesn't seem to for me, but it seems similar 
somehow.  I remain confused by it.
