Capricorn Mythology
The representation of Capricornus (The Horned Goat) as a creature with the head and body of a goat and the tail of a fish, may have originated from Assyro-Babylonian depictions of their god of wisdom Oannes, who was half-man, half-fish.
In Greek mythology, this constellation is associated with the time the Olympian gods sought refuge in Egypt. During their war with the giants, the gods were driven into Egypt and pursued by Typhon, a fearsome fire-breathing creature.
In order to escape, each was forced to change his shape. Pan (a forest deity) leapt in the Nile, turning the upper part of his body into a goat and the lower part into a fish, a shape considered by Jupiter worthy of commemoration in the heavens.
