The sea goat is a legendary aquatic animal described as a creature that is half-goat and half-fish.[2]
The constellation Capricornus was commonly imagined as a type of sea goat. The constellation has its origin in Bronze Age Mesopotamia. According to the Babylonian star catalogues the analogous constellation to Capricornus of the Greeks and Romans was MUL SUḪUR.MAŠ, 'the goat fish', which symbolized the god Enki.[3][4]
