Unicorn - a fantastic creature, found in myths and legends, with one corner in the center of the forehead. The earliest described by Ctesias in the 5th – 4th centuries BC; Pliny the Elder also added a deer head, elephant feet and a lion's tail. In the Middle Ages, he was depicted with the head and body of a white (less often red and black) horse, sometimes adding deer legs and a lion's tail. The unicorn was considered the only animal that had the courage to attack the elephant, with its hooves so sharp that one stroke of it would cut the elephant's belly open [1].
