Mythology
The Capricorn tattoo has ancient Greek origins. Capricorn is associated with Pan, the son of Hermes. The demigod was born with horns and hooves. His mother, upon seeing the child, rejected him. But young Hermes did not abandon the child and took him to Olympus. There Pan amused the gods and earned their love.
But when he grew up, Pan left Olympus and settled in the forest. He played the flute and herded sheep. He led a riotous life. He is often depicted with the wine god Dionysus.
But the merry Capricorn was not so simple. Many feared his wrath. It is in honor of him that intense fear is called "panic" and a state of anxiety is called panic.
However, the gods of Olympus considered Pan their helper, and they named a constellation after him.
