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.

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, the unicorn was a massive beast with a white body as big as a horse, a red head and single horn in the middle of the forehead.

Unicorns and Modern Myths

Nowadays, unicorns have become part of modern culture through books, movies, online games, and social media. Perhaps the most recent “temporary unicorn myths” take the shape of memes. Memes are an important cultural development. They usually encompass any catchy saying, funny image, unusual story, or quick and shallow joke that gets spread around like a virus through social media, including face to face chats in some cases. Unicorn memes predate the Internet, but they spread so much faster and easier now that everyone can check Facebook multiple times a day.

After reading unicorn mythology facts, you probably have an opinion about the mysterious unicorn. Whether unicorns are real is up to you to decide. But, don’t be too quick to judge. This solitary creature is thought to live deep in the forest and only be seen by the chosen. Just because you haven’t seen one yet, doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

Are Unicorns Real?

The short answer is: why not?

Things you will undoubtedly discover with awe and amazement in this article:

• Unicorns have always been evasive and hard for science to study
• All the great civilizations have recognized real life unicorns
• Unicorns were the object of a fruitful commerce for centuries during the Middle Ages
• Unicorns most likely evolved making detection more difficult
• Unicorns are still as real today as they ever were, and will be forever

You may be wondering are Unicorns real? This has been the subject of endless controversy for millenniums in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. There is so much literature, so many official records, accounts of live sightings, and other forms of accounts concerning unicorns, in so many different parts of the world, that we cannot list them all. We will therefore examine some of these here, and let you make up your own mind.

The first and foremost thing to consider with unicorns is their “magical” powers. It has been widely documented that unicorns have the faculty to render themselves, and other forest creatures, invisible to human eyes in the forest they protect. Unicorns are only visible to men if they so desire.

Since science is not yet able to explain the extraordinary abilities of real life unicorns, and how they are able to render themselves and other creatures invisible to man (which makes scientific study of unicorns extremely difficult, science having a hard time studying things it doesn’t have the means to detect yet). We can only hope that scientific progress in years to come will allow it to detect and study this amazing animal, furthering our knowledge. In the meantime we can rely on a huge quantity of literature and accounts, real unicorn sightings, and pictures of real unicorns that exist.
