Hippogriff
A Hippogriff (also spelled Hippogryph and Hippogryphe) is a legendary creature, supposedly the offspring of a griffin and a mareLudovico Ariosto's poem, Orlando furioso (1516) contains an early description (canto IV):XVIIINo empty fiction wrought by magic lore,But natural was the steed the wizard pressed;For him a filly to griffin bore;Hight hippogryph. In wings and beak and crest,Formed like his sire, as in the feet before;But like the mare, his dam, in all the rest.Such on Riphaean hills, though rarely found,Are bred, beyond the frozen ocean's bound.XIXDrawn by enchantment from his distant lair,The wizard thought but how to tame the foal;And, in a month, instructed him to bearSaddle and bit, and gallop to the goal;And execute on earth or in mid air,All shifts of manege, course and caracole;He with such labour wrought. This only real,Where all the rest was hollow and ideal.
