Hippocampus
The hippocampus comes from both Phoenician and Greek mythology, although its name is purely Greek: ‘hippos’ means horse and ‘kampos’ means sea monster.
The creature has the head and front legs of a horse and the tail and hindquarter of a serpent, fish or a dragon.
The hippocampus fed on plants found at the bottom of the ocean. They were extremely loyal and graceful creatures.
The hippocampus was shown drawing the chariot of Poseidon, the God of seas, earthquakes and horses.

Гиппокампус (гиппокамп) происходит из финикийской и греческой мифологии, хотя его название чисто греческое: «гиппос» означает лошадь, а «кампос» — морской монстр.
У этого существа голова и передние ноги лошади, а хвост и задняя часть — змеи, рыбы или дракона.
Гиппокампус питался растениями, растущими на дне океана. Они были чрезвычайно преданными и грациозными существами.
Гиппокампус изображался запряженным в колесницу Посейдона, бога морей, землетрясений и лошадей.

Robin Hood and his men fought against monks and Norman barons who oppressed the people. Robin Hood took money from the oppressors and gave it to the рoor people. The sheriffs tried to arrest him but could not do it. At last the sheriff of Northampton decided to organize a shooting contest where he could arrest Robin Hood. He knew that Robin Hood could shoot very well. The prize was a golden arrow. Robin Hood called his men and asked them whether they had to take part in the contest. They decided that the risk was great but they had to go. The day of the contest was fine and clear. The town was decorated with flags and the field for the contest was full of people. The sheriff looked everywhere for Robin Hood and his men but did not see them. He knew that they were always dressed in green. The contest was won by a man dressed in red who had come from a village with a company of young men. He received the Golden Arrow and left the town. Nobody thought that it was Robin Hood. When leaving the town Robin Hood shot an arrow into the sheriff's open window. There was a paper at the end of the arrow with the following words: «Robin Hood thanks the sheriff for the Golden Arrow.»
