Acerca de este título
The unicorn remains one of the most persistent and versatile symbols in the history of human imagination. Unlike many mythical creatures that originated as composite monsters intended to inspire terror, the unicorn emerged primarily as a biological curiosity. For millennia, it was treated not as a product of fantasy, but as a legitimate, albeit rare, member of the animal kingdom. This creature has bridged the gap between ancient natural history, medieval theology, and modern folklore, adapting its meaning to fit the cultural needs of every era it inhabited.
In the earliest records of Western civilization, the unicorn was described with clinical objectivity. Greek historians and physicians did not treat the animal as a divine messenger; rather, they categorized it alongside known African and Indian fauna. These early accounts laid the groundwork for a belief system that would persist for over two thousand years. As these descriptions moved from the secular scrolls of Greece into the religious texts of the Middle East and Europe, the unicorn underwent a profound transformation. It shifted from a wild beast of the East into a potent symbol of purity and divinity.
