One of the most instantly recognizable mythical creatures, the stately unicorn symbolizes virtue and strength. Although the beautiful creature has no myths of its own, it has appeared in artwork dating back centuries, to times when it was assumed to be real.
History
A horse-like creature with a single horn protruding from its head can be found in the artwork of cultures as widespread as Japan and England, Mexico and India. In ancient times, and even in medieval times, the creature was believed to truly exist, so it didnt figure in mythological stories. Of course, it always existed somewhere else, but that didnt stop believers from desiring to own a unicorn horn, reputed to have medicinal powers.
