Ctesia, was one of the first to write about a one horned creature. The Christian symbolism of the Unicorn came mainly from the mention of the Unicorn in the Bible, one such writing was in Psalm 22, line 21, "Save me from the lion's mouth: thou hast heard me, also from the horns of Unicorns." This quote suggests, unlike the modern day belief that the Unicorn is docile, that the Unicorn is a creature to be feared" |

Aristotle (384 - 322 B.C.) describes the Unicorn as a one-horned Indian Ass. Pliny the Elder (c23-79) wrote several passages on Unicorns differing in his description from that of Ctesias and Aristotle, he sees the Unicorn as a creature with a stag's head, a solid hoof like that of an elephant, a boar's tail, and the body of a horse. Pliny's Unicorn makes a lowing sound and it's horn is all black |
Some religions even believe the Unicorn was present in the Garden of Eden watching the destruction of the innocence of Adam and Eve. |
