Cornucopia
The cornucopia (
Latin: Cornu Copiae) is a symbol of food and abundance dating back to the
5th century BC, also referred to as Horn of Plenty, Horn of Amalthea, and harvest cone,In
Greek mythology,
Amalthea raised
Zeus on the milk of a
goat. In return Zeus gave Amalthea the goat's
horn. It had the power to give to the person in possession of it whatever he or she wished for. This gave rise to the legend of the cornucopia. The original depictions were of the goat's horn filled with fruits and flowers: deities, especially
Fortuna, would be depicted with the horn of plenty.
