What animal is Capricorn?

Capricorn is a creature in constellation mythology, also known as Mogaro.

This is the mount of the water god in Indian mythology, so it has the body of a fish. Mermaids are Capricorn. It is also one of the twelve houses, called Capricorn Palace. Its head is like an antelope, and its body and tail are like fish. Buddhist classics use it as a metaphor for a bodhisattva who binds all beings with love and will not stop until he reaches his goal, and later became a Buddhist sacred object because of "Mahasa helps others with meat." According to archaeological data, the earliest image of Capricorn fish appeared in the engraving and tombstone cover of Li in Sui Dynasty.

It first appeared in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and was introduced to China along with Buddhist scriptures. The image of Capricorn has appeared in Gu Kaizhi's The Goddess of Luo. Capricorn, from western mythology, is an inverted triangle, close to Aquarius and Sagittarius, and can be seen at latitude 60~90 degrees.

The legend of Capricorn is introduced:

1, Paine is the shepherd god who helps Zeus look after his sheep. He is half man and half sheep, with a pair of goat horns and two goat legs under his body. He loved the fairies in the temple and played the flute, but at a banquet of the gods, the flute attracted evil monsters to pull the breeze.

In order to save the fairy, he took her to the cursed lake. The fairy was held high above her head unscathed, but Paine was soaked in the lake, and her lower body became a fish tail, which she could never come back. Later Zeus created Capricorn in his own image.

2. At a banquet held by Zeus for the gods, a monster with a height of tens of meters and a head as high as 100 suddenly appeared. Its mouth kept spewing fire, but Zeus couldn't beat it. The temple was in a mess, and the gods turned and fled. Zeus became a sheep and Apollo became a crow.

Paine, on the other hand, jumped into the water and tried to escape like a fish, but only half of the water was changed because of nervousness. Zeus found everyone's funny looks funny, and after the monster left, he turned Paine's image into Capricorn.
