What animal is Capricorn?

According to legend, Capricorn refers to a monster that is half sheep and half fish, which was transformed from the faun Paine. Capricorn's appearance is that the upper body is human and the lower body is sheep, so it is not very good.

Capricorn is often depicted as a half-man, half-sheep god of the forest (the image of the forest guardian of the night elves in warcraft 3 should also be inspired by this myth).

Every year around 65438+February 2 1, the sun begins the annual Capricorn cycle. On the tarot card, the symbol card of Capricorn is "devil". The tarot symbol of Saturn, its ruler, is "the last trump card".

Capricorn is an earth sign, which symbolizes a strong concept of work, finance, education and family life. The combination of Capricorn's "last trump card" and "devil" is closely related to Pan, the faun god in Greek mythology, and Satan, Pan's enemy.

The legendary source of Capricorn

In the oldest legend, when Pan escaped once, he jumped into the water, and his lower body turned into a fish, while his upper body looked like a goat.

In medieval myths and legends, Pan was portrayed as a goat with horns. Legend has it that the maid who delivered Pan was frightened when she saw this strange "person". The English word panic also describes the feelings of the maid after seeing Pan.

In A.D. 1990, astronomer Mark Showalter discovered a small satellite around Saturn after observing the pictures of the universe taken by "Rover 2" and named it Pan. This is regarded as equally valuable as Neptune's discovery in astronomy.
