Summary[edit]
DescriptionMmantich.jpg | The Mantichora — The most remarkable of allegorical creatures was the mantichora, which Ctesias describes as having a flame-colored body, lionlike in shape, three rows of teeth, a human head and ears, blue eyes, a tail ending in a series of spikes and stings, thorny and scorpionlike, and a voice which sounded like the blare of trumpets. This synthetic quadruped ambled into mediaeval works on natural history, but, though seriously considered, had never been seen, because it inhabited inaccessible regions and consequently was difficult to locate [1]. |
