CAPRICORN (The Goat)



Do you know why the goat in the constellation Capricorn has the tail of a fish? Pan, the god of the forest, resembled a goat, was very skilled at playing the reed pipes. Pan spent his days singing, dancing, and living a cheerful existence. Once the gods were feasting on the banks of the river Nile in the land of Egypt. Pan, who loved everything lively, set out joyfully playing his reed pipes merrily and loudly when suddenly in burst the monster Teuphon bellowed "What is that terrible noise?" Startled, Pan tried to quickly change himself into a fish to get away. In his haste, his body turned into a fish but his head remained that of a goat. The gods laughed uproariously, and added his form to the constellations in the sky to commemorate the event.
