The question of historicity and actuality with regard to gods and unicorns is a relatively trifling matter which may be left to antiquarians and biologists, for both the god and the unicorn had a business to perform greater than any mere existence in the flesh could explain or provide a basis for.

The unicorn was not conceived in fear. Our early sense of Nature's majestry and mysetery is revealed in him.
