  Musimon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In medieval European heraldry, the image of the musimon is used to symbolize one in authority who leads with strength.
Used in this sense, the musimon, also known as "tityrus" or "tytron", is a cross between a goat and a sheep; it has the feet and body of a goat, the head and beard of a ram, and two horns from each for a total of four -- two curved and two straight.
Musimon can also refer to the real animal also known as the mouflon (Ovis musimon), a wild short-fleeced mountain sheep found on the islands of Corsica and Sardinia and parts of mainland Europe.
