The Unicorn
The unicorn is one of the most beautiful mythological creatures.
This animal looks like a horse with a horn on its forehead. In Ancient Greece
people believed that those who drank from its horn were protected from
stomachache, epilepsy, and poison. In the beginning the unicorn was not so
beautiful: people described it as a fierce creature with the head of a stag, the feet
of an elephant and the tail of a boar, but then the image changed. Most cultures
of the world depict these animals as white horses with a long horn on the
forehead. The horn is usually spiraled. In most tales unicorns are magnificent and
noble creatures, a symbol of purity and goodness.
Today we can say that unicorns rule popular culture. You can "find" millions of
unicorns all over the world: toys, pictures, cartoons, films, songs, cookies, cakes,
clothes, bedding and even slippers.
