"english": "Drusius points out that two horns use to be added to one whose wife is an adulteress. The husband then is called horned (=cuckolded). For horns indicate being in charge, and such a husband only seemingly is in marital charge, rather than actually being it. A different interpretation presents Philander von Sittwald in his book of visions: The horns are attributed to the husband, because he represents the head in this distich (by John Owen) which he cites: \"If the wife violates the sacred law of the conjugal bed, why does the husband undeservedly carry horns? He is the head.\"\n(Can someone make sense out of this?)",
"ref": "1693, Johann Schütze, Opus homagio-nuptiale 190",
"text": "Drūsius, ei quī uxōrem habet adulteram, affingī solēre duo cornua … ostendit. vocātur autem vir cornūtus …. cornua enim potestātem significant, tālis autem marītus simulācrum potius potestātis est marītālis, quam quod rēvērā potestātem habeat. aliam prōfert Philander von Sittwald in Vīsiōnibus, ideō marītō cornua competere, quia caput est, dum inquit:\nSī quandō sacra jūra torī violāverit uxor,\ncūr gerit immeritus cornua vir? caput est.https://books.google.com/books?id=_olCAAAAcAAJ&pg=190"
