The Goat in Mythology: From Cave Art to the Devil's Horns
From the sacred ram of ancient Egypt to the Devil's horns of medieval Christendom, the goat has carried humanity's deepest fears and strangest hopes for millennia. Drawing on newspaper archives spanning 1816 to 1996, this cultural history traces the animal's journey through Jewish scripture, Greek tragedy, Norse myth, Victorian occultism, and modern Satanic panic — and asks what we were really projecting all along.

a.d. = ante diem (the day before).
Abbreviations
- K = Kalends - the 1st day of the month.
- N = Nones - usually the 5th day (or 7th in March, May, July, October).
- I = Ides - usually the 13th day (or 15th in March, May, July, October).
How it works
The Roman calendar counted backwards from the next key point
(Kalends, Nones, or Ides).
So a.d. 2 means ante diem 2 - “the 2nd day before” the next event.
