Thomas Bulfinch- "Pliny, the Roman naturalist, out of
whose account of the unicorn most of the modern unicorns have been described
and figured, records it as "a very ferocious beast, similar in the rest
of its body to a horse, with the head of a deer, the feet of an elephant,
the tail of a boar, a deep, bellowing voice, and a single black horn, two
cubits in length, standing out in the middle of its forehead." He adds
that "it cannot be taken alive"; and some such excuse may have been necessary
in those days for not producing the living animal upon the arena of the
amphitheatre. The unicorn seems to have been a sad puzzle to the hunters,
who hardly knew how to come at so valuable a piece of game. Some described
the horn as movable at the will of the animal, a kind of small sword, in
short, with which no hunter who was not exceedingly cunning in fence could
have a chance. Others maintained that all the animal's strength lay in
its horn, and that when hard pressed in pursuit, it would throw itself
from the pinnacle of the highest rocks horn foremost, so as to pitch upon
it, and then quietly march off not a whit the worse for its fall." (Age
of Fable)

"Der Hippogreif lebt in den Tiefen des Meeres in den
unter Wasser liegenden Bergen. Er ist der Mischling eines Greifen und eines
Fisches. Er hat den Kopf und den Oberkörper eines Greifen und den
hinteren Teil eines Pferdes. Er ist kräftig und bewegt sich schneller
als der Blitz. Er wird in den Legenden von Charlemagne erwähnt."
http://webhome.idirect.com/~donlong/monsters/Html/Hippogry.htm
" .... Der Hippogryph wird ausgespannt,
und lächelnd schwingt sich ihm der Jüngling
auf den Rücken.
Kaum fühlt das Tier des Meisters sichre Hand,
so knirscht es in des Zügels Band,
und steigt, und Blitze sprühn aus den beseelten
Blicken.
Nicht mehr das vor'ge Wesen, königlich,
ein Geist, ein Gott, erhebt es sich,
entrollt mit einemmal in Sturmes Wehen
der Schwingen Pracht, schießt brausend himmelan,
und eh der Blick ihm folgen kann,
entschwebt es zu den blauen Höhen".

Thomas Bulfinch- "Like a griffin, he had the head of an
eagle, claws armed with talons, and wings covered with feathers, the rest
of his body being that of a horse. This strange animal is called a Hippogriff."
