                    CAPRICORNUS                   (Scroll down for large constellation)   

Perhaps the strangest of any constellation, Capricornus was sorted the head and front legs of a goat, while the rest of its body was fish. According to some sources he is the son of Amalthea, the goat who nursed the Greek god Zeus (Jupiter) while he was an infant and hiding from his father, Cronus (Saturn).

Capricorn - The sign of Capricorn represents the goat Amalthea who fed the infant Zeus. It's said that Zeus placed her among the stars in gratitude. Other accounts say that Capricorn represents Pan, the god of the forest, woodlands, and nature.
