Line 78:
* [[Youkai|Oni]] of Japanese legends had a single, sometimes off-center horn. Modern depictions in anime often have two-horned oni as well; when there's a literal [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]] pair, most likely one will have a single horn and the other will have two.
* Classically, horns were thought to be a symptom, not of cheating on one's spouse, but the opposite: being cuckolded. Supposedly, the reason [[A Midsummer Nights Dream|Oberon]] had horns was because Titania got around. (With no less than [[The Sandman|the personification of dreams]], [[Neil Gaiman|to hear some tell it.]])
** Derived from that, [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/:Cuckold#Cultural_usageCultural usage|many Latin languages]] use horn-related words to describe a betrayed man.
* Cernunnos from the [[Celtic Mythology]].
* The male god in Wicca is often referred as "The Horned God" and is often depicted similarly to Pan and/or Cernunnos.
