Cornucopia
This legendary object, which as the name suggests, bestowed abundance and originated in Greek mythology. According to myth, the Cornucopia is the horn of the goat Amalthea,
which Zeus suckled in Crete. In gratitude, Zeus placed her in the sky as a constellation and her horn granted its holder everything she or he desired.
the Romans mainly associated the Cornucopia with their goddess Fortuna,
but the goddesses Spes (Hope) and Concordia were also often depicted with the Cornucopia.
