11 of 12. Fishy goat... or goaty fish?

*pastes vague elfwood desc*
"Capricorn the... fish-goat. I read that the cornucopia was made from one of the horns of the goat that fed Zeus, the goat was Capricornus. Can't figure out what the fish part means, though. :) Micron pen and prismacolor pencils, prismacolor marker."

Edit: As ~tamarii correct me, Amalthea is actually the name of the goat. "Capricornus" is just latin for "horned goat." Oopsy. :)

I've always thought that the goat whose horn made the cornucopia was named Amalthea? Or something like that...there are probably other versions of that myth.

Whee, green hooves and flower bubbles! *is a capricorn*

.....I looked it up. You are indeed right. The name was Amalthea, "capricornus" just means "goat of horns" in latin. XD

Thank ya's for mentioning it. :D *goes to fix* And thank ya's for the comment. :)
