'''Capricorn''', the "Sea-goat", is a [[Constellations|constellation]], one of the twelve Signs of the [[Astrology|Zodiac]]. Its appearance was thought to be like that of a [[Mythology|mythical]] creature half goat, half fish. Its Latin, name ''Capricornus'', is simply a derived translation of the Greek ''aigókerōs'' goat-horned, "having horns like a goat's horns", "goat horn" or "horned goat". It is the tenth astrological [[sign]], and comes between [[Sagittarius]] the Archer and [[Aquarius]] the Water-bearer. As a sun sign, it represents the dates of December 23 through January 20.
It may have its origin as an imaginative commemoration in the Greek memory of the conquests of [[Alexander the Great]] "the great horned goat" who crossed the Hellespont to defeat Darius III of Persia at the [[Battle of Issus]] 333 B.C.. See Daniel 8:5-8.
