Linda S Godfrey (2009). Mythical creatures. Chelsea House Publishers. p.28. ISBN 978-0-7910-9394-8. A rather rare, late-15th-century, variant depiction of the hortus conclusus in religious art combined the Annunciation to Mary with the themes of the Hunt of the Unicorn and Virgin and Unicorn, so popular in secular art. The unicorn already functioned as a symbol of the Incarnation and whether this meaning is intended in many prima facie secular depictions can be a difficult matter of scholarly interpretation. There is no such ambiguity in the scenes where the archangel Gabriel is shown blowing a horn, as hounds chase the unicorn into the Virgin's arms, and a little Christ Child descends on rays of light from God the Father. The Council of Trent finally banned this somewhat over-elaborated, if charming, depiction, [30] partly on the grounds of realism, as no one now believed the unicorn to be a real animal. a b c Wareham, Jamie (2018-08-17).

Nobody knew where it had come from, or what it wanted. Not even Jaive, the sorceress, could fathom the mystery of the fabled beast.

In heraldry the unicorn is best known as a symbol of Scotland: the unicorn was believed to be the natural enemy of the lion – a symbol that the English royals had adopted around a hundred years before [33] Two unicorns supported the royal arms of the King of Scots and Duke of Rothesay, and since the 1707 union of England and Scotland, the royal arms of the United Kingdom have been supported by a unicorn along with an English lion. Two versions of the royal arms exist: that used in Scotland gives more emphasis to the Scottish elements, placing the unicorn on the left and giving it a crown, whereas the version used in England and elsewhere gives the English elements more prominence. John Guillim, in his book; A Display of Heraldry, has illustrated the unicorn as a symbol of power, honor and respect. [34]Queer individuals tend to relate to the unicorn because of their unique sexual orientation and gender identity. [40] A New Orleans journalist, Tracey Anne Duncan, described her connection to unicorn when she watched The Last Unicorn as a child. In the film, the protagonist believed she was one of a kind throughout her life. Tracey was able to relate to that feeling, even though she didn't really know what "her kind" was at that time. [37] Star, a baby unicorn and one of the last eight unicorns on earth, must find a way to help save her friends from the evil dragons.” Where Have the Unicorns Gone? by Jane Yolen, illustrated by Ruth Sanderson Psalms 21:22, 28:6, 77:69, 91:11; Isaiah 34:7. The Latin rhinoceros is employed in Numbers 23:22, 24:8; Deuteronomy 33:17, Job 39:9–10 Shakespeare scholars describe unicorns being captured by a hunter standing in front of a tree, the unicorn goaded into charging; the hunter would step aside the last moment and the unicorn would embed its horn deeply into the tree (See annotations [31] of Timon of Athens, Act 4, scene 3, c. line 341: "wert thou the unicorn, pride and wrath would confound thee and make thine own self the conquest of thy fury".) Medieval knowledge of the fabulous beast stemmed from biblical and ancient sources, and the creature was variously represented as a kind of wild ass, goat, or horse.

The unicorn is an imaginary animal that lives in a world of myths and legends. [40] Queer people, whose existence seems to blur the lines between societal norms of masculinity and femininity, may feel like they don't fully belong in this world. It explains their interests in mythical creatures such as unicorns, mermaids, and fairies. [41] [38] The translators of the Authorized King James Version of the Bible (1611) followed the Greek Septuagint ( monokeros) and the Latin Vulgate ( unicornis) [45] and employed unicorn to translate re'em, providing a recognizable animal that was proverbial for its untamable nature. The American Standard Version translates this term "wild ox" in each case.and the main character is a female who is part unicorn, part human, (centaur-like) and she finds like a d..." The unicorn is a legendary creature that has been described since antiquity as a beast with a single large, pointed, spiraling horn projecting from its forehead. As Arianna recovers from a bad accident and loss of memory, she slowly recalls things about her past and learns that her “horse” Chase can speak thoughts to her, as can her dog. When Chase is threatened, Arianna tries to run away with Chase and Lincoln – only to find herself transported into the world of Balinor, where she must reclaim her birthright.” A Glory of Unicorns edited by Bruce Coville, illustrated by Alix Berenzy Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib? Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee? Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him? Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn?"— Job 39:9–12 Hamilton, John (2010). Unicorns and Other Magical Creatures. ABDO Publishing Company.
