Amaltheʹa’s Horn

The cornucopia or horn of plenty. The infant Zeus was fed with goatsʹ milk by Amalthēa, one of the daughters of Melisseus, King of Crete. Zeus, in gratitude, broke off one of the goat’s horns, and gave it to Amalthēa, promising that the possessor should always have in abundance everything desired. (See ÆGis.)
