Goats are the oldest animal of humans. They have been with us for about 7,000 years BC and are worshiped and sanctified by many people in the world. Myths about this animal appear no less in the world.

Below are the incarnations of goats in ancient civilizations:

1. Pan God

Pan is a Greek god whose upper body is a man, a pair of horns and the lower part of the goat. According to myths, it is difficult to identify Pan's parents.

Many versions say that he is the son of Hermes and the goddess Dryope. Pan is also one of the gods who appeared very early, before the reign of Zeus.

Accordingly, he was the one who gave the gods Artemis the hound and taught the mysterious Apollo of prophetic art. Pan himself also participated in the process of forming a new generation of leaders at Olympus, overthrowing the Titans.

In folklore, Pan is the protector of the shepherds, the god of the countryside, the wild and the prolific. The ancient Greeks said that God loved art.

Pan often played with the gods and played songs with his flute

The evidence is that the image of the god is often shown holding a flute with the name Pan. Because of this, Pan is honored as a drama critic.

2. The Yale monster

Yale is a mythical creature shaped like a goat but with the size of a hippopotamus, a pig's jaw and an elephant's tail. The name of this species in ancient Greek means 'able to return' , implying that their special horns can turn in different directions to attack the opponent.

Yale possesses horns that can spin freely in many directions as an extremely powerful weapon

In addition to self-defense, Yale's horns can be used to pierce prey when it hunts. Within their habitat, this giant goat has no opponents.

Because of his strength, Yale has become a symbol of invincibility in many regions in Europe. In the Middle Ages, they even symbolized supporters of the Duke of Bedford, England (1389 - 1435).

Yale appeared a lot on the emblems and symbols of the British royal family

3. Monster Sigbin

Sigbin is a legendary monster of Filipinos. According to the description, Sigbin looks just like a hornless goat, resembling a crow. They often go at night to suck human blood through their shadows.

At night, Sigbin will hunt down the children to eat and eat but still retain the heart to be an amulet. This animal has an odd backward gait with its head lowered between hind legs. This is said to be a way for them not to be discovered by humans.

4. Monster Chimera

Chimera is a legendary monster from West Asia, the son of two monsters, Typhon and Edchina, who are the brothers of Cerberus and the nine-headed Hydra.

According to the description, Chimera has the body of a lion with the wings of a dragon, a goat head on its back and sometimes a dragon head (snake).

This monster is extremely agile and powerful, its breath is bright flames. Because he had to feed up to three mouths, Chimera was always hungry and could "eat" anyone who was unlucky.

Chimera has a tremendous power from a combination of different animals

In Greek mythology, this ferocious Chimera is destroyed by the hero Bellerophon. With the help of horse god Pegasus, Bellerophon flew high to avoid the flames erupting from the monster's mouth.

Chimera was killed by its own fire

Once on the head of Chimera, the hero launched his nose with lead into his mouth. The fire from Chimera's breath caused the lead to melt and burn the monster's own intestine.
