Capricorn, the SeaGoat

Pan was a Greek god who had the head and torso of a man and the legs, hindquarters, and horns of a goat. Pan ruled over fields, woods, flocks and sheep. He played a flute called a syrinx. The syrinx was actually a nymph who Pan turned into a musical instrument when she rejected his sexual advances. He decided that he would have her one way or another.
According to Greek mythology, Pan escaped the monster Typhon by jumping into a river and turning his lower half into a fish. During a battle between the Titans and the gods of Olympus, Pan sent a warning by blowing on a conch shell. As a reward, Zeus installed Pan among the stars in the constellation Capricorn.
