Capricorn the sea-goat is shrouded in mystery.  Going back to Babylonian mythology, this creature is called Enki and is the god of wisdom and water.  The ancient Greeks also had sea-goats, but few stories remain about them.  One such story tells of the Pricus, the father of sea-goats. Pricus exemplifies the race and is known to be intelligent and honorable.  Created by Chronos (Father Time), Pricus shares in his ability to manipulate time.  Legend says that the young sea-goats were naturally drawn to the shoreline.  They would pull up to the shore and sun themselves on the beach.  However, the longer they were in the sun, the less they were of the sea.  Their fish tail would transform into hind legs, changing them into regular mountain goats without the ability to speak.  Pricus was most upset about this, and after losing several of his children to the land, he reversed time to force his children to return to the sea.  He then forbade his children from going to the shore, but no matter what he tried, his children ended up as mountain goats.  Sadly, Pricus accepted that he was not able to control the destiny of his children and so he let them go.  When he was the only remaining sea-goat, Pricus begged Chronos to let him die.  Instead, Chronos placed him in the sky as a constellation, so that he could watch over his beloved but simple children from the stars.  An alternate tale tells of the infant Zeus.  Born of Titans, he was at risk of being eaten by his father, Cronos (different guy from above).  Zeus’ mother replaced him with a blanket wrapped stone, which she fed to his father.  Zeus was then smuggled to the island of Crete and cared for by the nymph, Amalthea.  A she-goat served as a nurse-maid to him, and in remembrance of this kindness, Zeus placed her among the stars as Capricorn.
