In the Ancient Greek myth Rhea, the mother of Zeus, had to conceal her newborn son from her husband, Cronos, who intended to eat him in an attempt to thwart a fatal prophesy. The baby was nursed by the goat-nymph Amaltheia and when Zeus became ruler of the gods he placed her as Capricorn in the stars to honour her. Sterling silver pendant on a 20 inch (50cm).
