In Greek myth, the original cornucopia provided food for Zeus when he was young. The legend goes that his foster mother Amalthea (who may or may not have been a goat) broke one of her horns off, and it magically created a continuous supply of nourishment for the godly baby. This story has persisted for thousands of years now, making the cornucopia an enduring symbol of abundance, prosperity, and wealth.
As a centerpiece for Thanksgiving and other harvest celebrations, the horn of plenty is a visual expression of gratitude for good fortune. Learn how to make your own for a festive addition to your home.
