context_page_description: Bicorn and Chichevache are fabulous beasts that appear in European satirical works of the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Bicorn is a creature—often described as a part-panther, part-cow creature with a human-like face—that devours kind-hearted and devoted husbands and is plump and well fed. Chichevache, on the other hand, devours obedient wives and is thin and starving.

Bicorn is a creature—often described as a part-panther, part-cow creature with a human-like face—that devours kind-hearted and devoted husbands and (because of their abundance) is plump and well fed. Chichevache, on the other hand, devours obedient wives and (because of their scarcity) is thin and starving.
