Oedipus came across the Sphinx on his way to Thebes in Greece. The sphinx asked him "What walks on four feet in the morning, two in the afternoon and three in the evening?"

Is of an evening good English?
It is somewhat archaic. You could say "Mr. Jones goes out for walks of an evening" which is correct, but which also is not how this idea would usually be conveyed.

There are other possible contexts for that phrase as well such as, "Evening is my favorite time of day; I never get tired of an evening."
What is the Greek monster with the famous riddle?
The Sphinx (with the head of a woman, body of a lioness, and serpent as a tail) asked the famous riddle, "What walks with four legs in the morning, two in the afternoon, and three in the evening". If a brave man (or woman) answered wrong the Sphinx would kill and eat them. The answer was "man". Why? Because it describes the stages of life. A man crawls when he is a baby, walks as a grown man, and uses a cane when he grows old. ( Hence the 4 legs, 2 legs, then 3 legs.)
