Capricorn Myth:

The ancient greek myth behind Capricornus is about the sea goat,  Pan, the god whom created the pan flute. Typhon, a monster, attacked olympus and stole zeus’s power leaving him incapable of protecting himself or the others. After, Pan convinced all the other gods to transform themselves into animals and to hide within the Egyptian dessert so they could. Pan leapt into the Nile river to hide, transforming his bottom half into a sea serpent. Once Typhon gave up his search for the gods and went to look else where, Pan and Hermes flew back up to the heavens to restore Zeus’s power. After, the three of them went on to defeat the monster known as Typhon. Zeus placed Pan into the sky as the immortal constellation, Capricorn,  to remember his valiant effort to save the god.
