Unicorns

Mythological Creatures

Unicorns

The unicorn is a legendary creature that has been described since antiquity as a beast with a large, pointed, spiraling horn projecting from its forehead. In European folklore, the unicorn is often depicted as a white horse like or goat like animal with a long horn and cloven hooves (sometimes a goat's beard). It was commonly described as an extremely wild woodland creature, a symbol of purity and grace, which could only be captured by a virgin.
Unicorns are not found in Greek mythology, but rather in the accounts of natural history, for Greek writers of natural history were convinced of the reality of unicorns, which they located in India, a distant and fabulous realm for them.
In heraldry the unicorn is best known as the symbol of Scotland. The unicorn was chosen because it was seen as a proud and haughty beast which would rather die than be captured, just as Scots would fight to remain Sovereign and unconquered.
One suggestion is that the unicorn is based on the extinct rhinocerus species.
