The devil being shown as a goat comes from a mix of history and symbolism. In pagan times, gods like Pan were connected to goats, and early Christians tied these pagan images to evil. Goats were also seen as stubborn and wild, which made them a good symbol for sin or rebellion. That’s how the image stuck over time.
The association of goats with the devil can be traced back to ancient pagan beliefs and Christian symbolism. In some cultures, goats were seen as symbols of lust, fertility, and the wild forces of nature, which were often associated with the devil. Additionally, in Christian iconography, goats have been depicted as symbols of sin and evil, particularly in relation to the concept of the "scapegoat" in the Bible, where a goat is symbolically burdened with the sins of the community and sent into the wilderness. These historical and cultural associations have contributed to the goat's connection with the devil in various mythologies and folklore.
