Unicorn is one of the most popular mythical creatures that seem to exist in many culture. In the West, unicorn is usually portrayed as a slender, white beautiful horse with a spiralling horn on its forehead. Unicorns appear only to the pure at heart. The word unicorn comes from the Latin for 'one-horned' and refers to an imaginary beast that appears in the legends of China, India, Mesopotamia., and Europe. Since medieval times the unicorn has often been portrayed as a horse with a single horn growing from its forehead. Descriptions of the animal in various sources differ somewhat. The exhibition Search for the Unicorn contained a wide selection of works surrounding the myth, and held not only the famous tapestries themselves but donations from other public and private collections, making it one of the most in-depth explorations into the history of the unicorn in history. The Myth of the Unicorn Unicorns are considered mythical, magical creatures, though some believe that they did in fact once roam the earth.

If the mention of unicorns conjures up

images of radiant white horses with a

flowing manes and a single horn in the

middle of the forehead, you may be

surprised to learn that that is only one

version of this mythical creature. The

legendary unicorn from some cultures

bears little resemblance to the popular

fairytale version depicted in children’s

stories and videos in the U.S.

Unicorns in Chinese Mythology

The unicorn called Qilin has held a

place in ancient Chinese mythology

since the time of Confucius. It is

believed to be one of the nine mythic

monsters who were sons of a dragon

with the ability to tell good from evil.

This unicorn has the head of a dragon,

blue and green scaly skin, cloven

hooves and the tail of a bear. This

unicorn often had more than one horn.

It is believed to live for 2000 years or more.

Although it has changed symbolism

over time, it was originally portrayed

as a kind and loving creature that fed

on magical grasses, walked on water

and even flew. It also had the mysterious

ability to walk on grass without crushing

the blades. Its image was carved on

gravestones to assist the dead to

heaven and to ward off evil spirits.

The Chinese believe that Qilin can

only be seen by ‘chosen ones’ and

only appears during the reign of

superior rulers. It is also believed to

carry extraordinary children on its back

transporting them from heaven to their

earthly parents.Today, Qilin represents

strength and power. It is used in Feng Shui

to attract wealth and to eliminate negativity.

It is also thought to help women who desire

a child. Overall, it is seen as a good omen

that brings joy, wisdom and long life.

Myth of the Turkish Unicorn

One of the largest and most ferocious of

all the UNICORN-like animals found across

the globe, the Karkadann was said to

stalk the arid flatlands and deserts of

Legends Of Tomorrow The Unicorn

India, Persia and northern Africa in

search of fresh meat. The name Karkadann

is a variation of the Sanskrit 'Kartajan',

which means roughly 'Lord of the Desert'.

This kingly appellation as also been

translated as Karkadan, Karkadanno,

Karmadan, and Cartazoon.

This supposedly fearless predator

(which has been known to be able to take

down elephants) has been described as

being as large as a bull, with a wolf-like

visage, and two horns protruding from its

skull. The first horn, which is said to resemble

an ivory spike, sticks straight up from the

Karkadann's cranium, and is apparently

used to attack its quarry.

The second horn is a curved, bone-like tusk,

which juts out from just above the animal's

nose, and is reportedly employed primarily

for self defense. In the 4th century BC, Greek

physician and historian, Ctesias,

described the animal thusly:

'Their bodies are white, their heads dark red

and their eyes dark blue. They have a horn

on the forehead that is about a foot and

a half in length.. The animal is exceedingly

swift and powerful, so that no creature,

neither the horse nor any other, can overtake it.'

Legends Of Equestria Unicorn

Although the Karkadann is an undeniably

ruthless predator, it was said that a bird

known as the ringdove was able to charm

the savage beast. Legend has it that this

fearless little bird would perch upon the

Karkadann's horn and sing its song, much

to the apparent delight of its canine host.

Ancient historians claimed that the Karkadann

so favored these birds that it would often

Medieval Unicorns

The medieval unicorn myth likely gave

rise to the western version of the unicorn.

Because the unicorn was mentioned in

the Bible, people of that time naturally

assumed it was a real animal. (Scientists

now believe the unicorn of the Bible was

actually a type of wild ox.) It was included

with other beasts in a book called The

Physiologus, which listed and

described existing animals.

To please the church, each animal was

given human traits and served as an allegory

for Biblical teaching. The unicorn was

portrayed as untamable and uncatchable,

except by a virgin. According to The

Physiologus, a unicorn was attracted to

the purity and innocence of a virgin and

would come to lay its head in her lap.

The unicorn soon became associated with

Christ and the Virgin Mary, which in turn led

to the symbolism of unicorns as pure and

gentle creatures able to discern truth.The

belief that the unicorn horn possessed

magical powers soon spread through

medieval Europe. Drinking from the

horn or ingesting the powdered horn

was thought to cure disease combat

poison.One of the most famous depiction

of medieval unicorns is still accessible

today through seven tapestries known

as “The Unicorn Tapestries” or “The

Hunt for the Unicorn” cycle.

Unicorns in Greek Mythology

Surprisingly, myths and legends of unicorns

have no part in Greek mythology. Unicorns

are not associated with Greek gods and

goddesses. However, a Greek doctor named

Ctesias gave us the first written description

of this mythical creature after visiting Persia

and hearing the stories from Indian travelers.

According to Ctesias,
