The Magical Powers of a Unicorn

I found more evidence to support the theory that unicorns actually have magic powers. It sounds like they can be ferocious little things if you mess with them...so please, leave them be!!  

It was traditionally believed that a naked virgin sitting beneath a tree could only catch a delicate unicorn.  The unicorn, who craves purity, would be irresistably drawn to the woman and it would lie down and even place its head in her lap.  While it slept in this manner it would give a hunter an opportunity to capture it.  If, however, the girl was merely pretending to be a virgin the unicorn would tear her apart in a fit of rage.

Throughout the legends of unicorns, horns and alicorns, there is one constant: the horn is said to have great medicinal powers.  In Ctesias’ writings, the dust filed from the horn of a unicorn was supposed to protect against deadly diseases if mixed into a potion and consumed.  If you drank from the horn itself, you would be protected against any poison in the world.
