Capricorn
Capricorn, the goat with a fish's tail, is the Babylonian god, Ea, 'He of the vast intellect', 'Lord of the Sacred Eye'. He was also known as 'the antelope of the subterranean ocean', from which he emerged to teach man the arts of civilisation. The only one amongst the ancient gods who was always kind and never angry, he warned mankind about the Flood. Near his earthly palace on the shore of the Persian Gulf grew a great tree with leaves of lapis lazuli, which cast as much shade as a whole forest. Capricorn lies between Sagittarius and Aquarius on the zodiac band.
