Mythology & Symbolism
The symbol of the Sea-Goat originates from ancient Babylonian mythology, often associated with the god Ea, who was depicted as a goat-fish. This hybrid creature symbolizes Capricorn's ability to balance the material world (the goat climbing the mountain) with the intuitive, emotional realm (the fish in the sea). In Greek myth, it is linked to Pan, who transformed into a sea-creature to escape Typhon.
