CALENDAR 2024 - 1. CAPRICORN - Sketch

Added 2022-12-31 07:07:10 +0000 UTC

And the winner of the CAPRICORN sign is the incredibly handsome JUDE LAW!!!

FUN FACT: We both were born the same day and year!!! HAHAHA

TECHNICAL FACT: You can see a geometric composition, inspired by painters like Alphonse Mucha and Gustav Klimt (which I ADORE) and who are, for me, the precursor of illustration.

MYTHOLOGICAL FACT:

There are several origins for this sign in Greek mythology, one being that it gets its name from a Greek myth that the god Pan was transformed into a half-goat, half-fish when he plunged into the Nile River to escape the giant Typhon.

But I prefer the origin of the constellation CAPRICORN which comes from AMALTHEA, the goat that nursed the child Zeus after his mother, Rhea, saved him from being eaten by his father, Cronus. After ZEUS won the throne of OLYMPUS, he returned to the island where AMALTHEA took care of him. The goat was old at that time, so to thank AMALTHEA for taking care of him, ZEUS cut off its horns. Gold flows from one and food flows from the other, both for eternity. Finally ZEUS put AMALTHEA on the sky as the CAPRICORN constalation.
