Unicorns are mythological creatures but did not originate in religious myths. The first mention of them is in ancient Greek works on natural history. They were said to dwell in India.

The King James version of The Bible mistranslated the word for a giant ox as "unicorn." This has been corrected in many subsequent bible translations.

Because of the biblical mentions and the ancient sources, unicorns became popular in medieval Europe in heraldry and stories.
