But what is this creature?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jean-Yves Ferri tells us more<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cFor me it all started with a sculpture of the Tarasque, a terrifying creature from Celtic legends \u2026 Did our ancestors really believe that these peculiar monsters actually existed?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth mentioning that in Roman times there weren\u2019t many explorers, so the\u00a0terra\u00a0<\/em>was mostly\u00a0incognita<\/em>. Even so, extraordinary animals such as elephants and rhinoceroses had already been exhibited in Rome. Having seen them, why would Romans have any reason to doubt the existence of equally improbable creatures? And hadn\u2019t some of them (medusas, centaurs, gorgons\u2026) been described very seriously before their time by the ancient Greeks?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now it was time look at this bestiary and choose the animal that would be at the centre of the intrigue. Half-eagle, half-lion, with horse\u2019s ears and appropriately enigmatic \u2013 I opted for a Griffin!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Romans were bound to go for it. But what about the Gauls? How would Asterix, Obelix and Dogmatix, along with the Druid Getafix, get drawn into the epic, perilous quest to find this fantastical animal?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That\u2019s what you\u2019ll find out in the new album. And I\u2019m not going to do what Wikipedia does and tell you EVERYTHING about it\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
