A depiction of the antelope (mythical creature) in the Harley Bestiary (1240)

Etymology

The origin is unknown. Some of the descendants have mistakenly read ἀν- (an-) as ἀυ- (au-).

Noun

ἀνθόλοψ • (anthólops)

antelope (a fierce legendary creature said to live on the banks of the Euphrates, having long serrated horns and being hard to catch)
- 2nd-4th centuries AD, Physiologus 3.1–4:[1]
  Ἔστι ζῶον, λεγόμενον ἀνθόλοψ (var. λυθίωψ). δριμύτατον ζῶον σφόδρα, ὥστε κυνηγὸν μὴ δύνασθαι αὐτᾠ ἐγγίζειν. ἔχει δὲ μακρὰ κέρατα, πρίονος μορφὴν, ὥστε πρίζειν τὰ μεγάλα δένδρα και μετέωρα.
  Ésti zôon, legómenon anthólops (var. luthíōps). drimútaton zôon sphódra, hṓste kunēgòn mḕ dúnasthai autōi engízein. ékhei dè makrà kérata, príonos morphḕn, hṓste prízein tà megála déndra kai metéōra.
  Translation by Gohar Muradyan
  There is an animal called antelope, an exceedingly alert animal; until the hunters are unable to approach it. It has long horns in the shape of a saw, so that it is able to saw very large and high trees.

Usage notes

In Greek and other ancient languages refers to a mythical creature, perhaps originally based on reports of the oryx.
