Musimon, Tityrus

A fictitious animal mentioned by Guillim and others. It nearly resembles

_a goat, with the head and horns of a ram_, but has besides the horns of

that beast, _a pair of goat's horns_. It is also mentioned in Guillim's

"Display," where it is said to be a bigenerous beast, of unkindly

procreation, engendered between a goat and a ram, like the Tityrus, the

offspring of a sheep and goat, as noted by Upton.
