The Myth of the Sea-Goat
In myth, the Sea-Goat is often associated with the ancient Babylonian god Ea, who was the god of wisdom and waters, and later with the Greek god Pan. To escape the monster Typhon, Pan jumped into a river, transforming his lower half into a fish, symbolizing the blend of earthly resourcefulness and deep, intuitive understanding.
