MYTHOLOGICAL HORSES:
Horses play important roles in mythology in many cultures. Among the most famous are the Unicorn, Pegasus, the Centaur, the Hippocampus and the Hippogriff.
Our Pegasus weathervane is based on the beautiful winged horse of Greek mythology. An offspring of Poseidon and Medusa, Pegasus is one of the best known to the mythical creatures in the Greek pantheon.
Our Unicorn weathervane is based on the legendary animal from European folklore that resembles a white horse with a large, pointed, spiraling horn projecting from its forehead, and sometimes a goat's beard. First mentioned by the ancient Greeks, it became the most important imaginary animal of the middle ages and Renaissance when it was commonly described as an extremely wild woodland creature, a symbol of purity and grace, which could only be captured by a virgin.
The Hippocampus, another equestrian inspired mythological creature has the upper body of a horse and the lower body of a fish or dolphin.
The Hippogriff, most recently made famous in the Harry Potter books and movies, is a creature with the head and feet of an eagle, with a feathered horses body, the result of a mating between a gryphon and a horse.
Epona, the ancient Celtic horse goddess, is often associated with a mythical white mare.
In Greek mythology, a Centaur or hippocentaurs a member of a composite race of creatures, part human and part horse.
