猎人赫恩(Herne the Hunter)是传说中出没于英国伯克郡温莎森林和温莎大公园的一个幽灵,其头上长着鹿角。首次书面提及猎人赫恩的文献是莎士比亚1597年出版的《温莎的风流娘儿们》,不过最早的版本中书写为“Horne”,后来赫恩又多次出现于其他著作和媒体中。而起具体的起源还有争议。

Herne the Hunter 猎人赫恩
In English folklore, Herne the Hunter is a ghost associated with Windsor Forest and Great Park in the English county of Berkshire. He has antlers upon his head.
The first literary mention of Herne is in William Shakespeare's play The Merry Wives of Windsor, though there are several theories attempting to place the origins of Herne as predating any evidence for him by connecting his appearance to pagan deities or ancient archetypes.
