Capricorn According to Mythology
According to mythology, the Capricorn is the Pricus which was a sea goat that was made by Cronos, the god of time. This was a goat that could think, reason, and talk just like a man. He loved creation and he was blessed to be immortal and could turn back the time to any period he wanted.
The Pricus had a bunch of children and they loved to explore things, but he would warn them not to explore things too long, but they did anyways. They would eventually lose their fish tales and their smarts and became normal goats because of the time they spent exploring.
Pricus was sad about this, and he turned back the time to when he told his children and warned them of these dangers. After he did this a few times he realized that no matter how much he turned back time that free will would not change destiny.
He begged Cronos to give him death, but Cronos refused and would not take away Pricus’ immortality but instead would allow him to live in the stars instead of being on Earth.
