You are absolutely right, these s...Dear anonymous,<br /><br />You are absolutely right, these stories are indeed very complicated (but not impossible)<br />The problem here is that you are searching for information about your Zodiac sign (the personal information about Capricorn) but this is a blog about the Historical mythology behind the Constellations.<br />Actually anything horoscopy is a long way away from being Real astrology, there is a lot of misunderstanding about these topics. Astrology (where it began) has nothing to do with modern (today’s) Horoscopes and modern (today’s) astrology. This is something this blog draws attention to. I am in search for the ancient truths, not modern based theories upon an individual personality, as horoscopes are. I look for the ‘All’ – The ‘connected’ not anything individual.<br />You will not be able to place these mythological stories upon your self or anyone else, because it was never supposed to be an individual subject in the manner that we use today.<br /><br />-This is nothing to do with personal zodiac signs.<br /><br />I hope that this was of some help?<br />Sincerely,<br />KarimaWindBlowerTMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17170356543204924008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34123940.post-61462729168789032472010-11-30T06:40:26.915+01:002010-11-30T06:40:26.915+01:00these storys are very complicated..and very comple...these storys are very complicated..and very complexted ...every other sign has a definte story to them but cappricorn .. ..which one is right ..who knows????....i myself am a capppricorn and theses differant storys makes it harder to understand my own sign.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34123940.post-39550001869003664272010-08-10T15:41:06.927+01:002010-08-10T15:41:06.927+01:00Dear Anonymous,
Capricorn is only seen as Pan in ...Dear Anonymous,<br /><br />Capricorn is only seen as Pan in some cultures, and there seems to be no facts to prove these authors theories. Some say that an old story that is reported to be 'Egyptian' makes a connection between Pan and Capricorn (Gaius Juilis Hyginus if I am not mistaken). First of this story should not be referred to as Egyptian, but it rather belongs to the Greeks whom conquered Egypt around 332 B.C., or even the later Romans. again if I am not mistaken then one part of people believe Pan to be equal to Aix, Aegipan and Amaltheia, just portraying different aspects of Pan, others believe that Pan is the father to Capricorn, in that Zeus raped Aix, whom was the wife of Pan, and Aix bore a child that was named Aegipan. Zeus loved this child so much, that he placed Aegipan like he did with others. I will not be the one to judge which is right or wrong.<br />http://www.theoi.com/Georgikos/Aigipan.html <br />http://www.theoi.com/Text/HyginusAstronomica2.html#28 <br />- search Capricorn<br /><br />Speaking about the Mesopotamian god Ea or Ea-Ham or Enki or SUḪUR.MAŠ is a creature which I think belongs under the constellation of Cetus. About this god there is a lot of speculation, such as his name and more. This god seem to be a very ancient god, I personally think this god is another version of the ancient Sumerian god known also as Ea or Ea-Han (the Sumerian people are much older than the people of Babylon). The first astrological record (that has survived in other older authors writings) is the Chaldean priest astrologer Berossos, and it is widely accepted that he was copying much older texts, which scholars have concluded to be of the Sumerian's knowledge (the sons of Ham).<br />But yes surely the ancient people borrowed from each other.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />KarimaWindBlowerTMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17170356543204924008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34123940.post-87720698450454838522010-07-27T05:01:04.915+01:002010-07-27T05:01:04.915+01:00Hi Love your graphics but the Mesopotamian God Ea ...Hi Love your graphics but the Mesopotamian God Ea or EN.KI was related to the sea-goat, not sure how that links to pan, Certainly the ancient people borrowed from each other!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34123940.post-85548883783035596392010-06-16T02:01:14.286+01:002010-06-16T02:01:14.286+01:00Dear Anonymous,

In the battle against the monster Typhoon, Zeus lost his powers, which Typhoon had hidden. Pan and Hermes found their fathers power, but Typhoon forced them down towards Egypt, where they changed their shapes; Pan transformed his lower body to that of a fish lower body, so he could swim away in the Nile. Zeus showed his gratitude by placing Pan among the stars as Capricorn. He still has the goat upper body and the fish’ lower body.<BR/><BR/><B>“Greek Gods and hero’s”, by Leo Hjortsø ISBN 87-567-3869-2 upon page 138 it states [word for word];</B><BR/>Capricorn:<BR/>The constellation in the shape of a Buck with a fish tale. In some myths its Aegipan, the buck, that delivered the skin to Zeus’ aegis. Aegipan is also said to have suckled the goat Amalthea, and thereby being Zeus’ Milk-brother. As thanks for the brotherly love, Zeus placed him upon the heaven.<BR/>- Just some books.<BR/><BR/>There is more than one Pan, like in the case of Aries, or even Taurus.<BR/>Capricorn is a creation of curtain events.

I only state what I have read, in the various forms which I have read, again no human can and will ever be possible to read and know everything.<BR/>What I stated in this post, is what I have found when I looked in books, here and there. I don’t know if they or 100% correct, how could I possibly? Apparently here some believe Pan and Amaltheia are one and the same character, I don’t know I use the Greeks history to reach the older civilization of the ancient Egyptian mindset. <BR/>I do know that Pan is seen as the son of Hermes, but I think of this, like with the ancient Egyptian, in how they used the characters. Some times we find Thoth having one wife, then suddenly in another context this wife becomes a mother/sister/even god, which seems to be relating to the texts context.<BR/>This posts states what some old manuscripts found, says. Picatrix MSS 10th 11th century, and from a manuscript from Germany 1800 century.<BR/><BR/>But let me be the first to say, that I did not know that Amaltheia was the goat that nurtured Zeus when he was an infant. And that she had nothing to do with Pan.<BR/>I use the old texts/manuscripts, I feel like they give me the old ways of thinking about the topic ‘of the constellations and their mythology’, what and which is right and wrong, I declare that I do not know.<BR/>I thank you for making me that much wiser, I will see what I can learn more about this.<BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/>WindBlower - KLWindBlowerTMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17170356543204924008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34123940.post-9094364844515556132008-11-24T01:33:00.000+01:002008-11-24T01:33:00.000+01:00Pan was the son of Hermes, not Zeus.
