Myths and legends of Capricorn

Capricorn is a strange constellation, with an upper body like a sheep and a lower body like a fish.

Pan, the mountain god, is the child of Hermes and the fairy Penelope. When Pan was born, he looked so strange that he almost scared his mother to death. He has horns on his head and hair on his body. His upper body is human and his lower body is leg of lamb. Although he looks strange, all the gods like him very much, and Zeus also gave him the title of mountain god and forest god.

Pan is proficient in melody and good at playing musical instruments, so the gods will let Pan play musical instruments to entertain them when they hold banquets. One day, when the gods held a banquet on the Nile River in Egypt, Pan was playing music. Just as everyone was happy, suddenly, a half-man, half-snake monster appeared. This monster is very tall, with a head of 100. Its head can hold stars, its tongue is black, and it can spray flames from its mouth and eyes. The gods were so afraid that they fled in disguise.

Pan was intoxicated by the beating. When he found the monster, it was close to him. He was afraid and wanted to escape from the Nile like a fish. But he was so scared that he couldn't control himself. He only turned the underwater body into a fish, and the upper body was still the image of a sheep, and left in a hurry. Zeus smiled when he saw Pan like this. He thought it was very interesting, so he put the image of Pan in the sky and became a Capricorn.
