Modern Greek= gida, katsika
Ancient Greek=aigos (αιξ)
Scintific name: Capra aegagrus hircus

From Homer

There are differing opinions about the Aegean sea and how it got its name. According to Professor Christos Doumas, head of the archaeological excavations at Akrotiri, the name Aegean has its origin in the Homeric verb ‘aisso’ which means 'to jump'.
The derivative noun from this verb is ‘aix’ = the goat, in other words an animal that jumps. In ancient times the Greeks called large waves ‘aig(y)es’ (as jumping goats). Thus we arrive at “Aegeon” = Aegean. In modern day Greek it is called 'Aig(y)aio'.

In the book of Daniel's prophecy about Alexander the Great, the Greek Empire is represented by the goat lol

"I kept on watching and saw a goat come from the west and charge across the entire earth, without even touching the ground. Between his eyes was a powerful horn and with tremendous anger, the goat started toward the ram that I had seen beside the river. The goat was so fierce that its attack broke both horns of the ram, leaving him powerless. Then the goat stomped on the ram, and no one could do anything to help. After this, the goat became even more powerful. But at the peak of his power, his mighty horn was broken, and four other mighty horns took its place -- one pointing to the north and one to the east, one to the south and one to the west.4 "

The goat represents the Greek Empire. Alexander the Great came out of the west, where Greece is in relationship to the Medo-Persian capital of Susa. Charging across the earth without touching the ground, shows the great speed with which the Greeks conquered the world, just like the winged leopard. The horns on the ram breaking and the ram being stomped must symbolized the fall of the Media-Persian Empire.

The powerfull horn represents Alexander the Great. Daniel said the horn was broken. This means he died. The four horns that replaced it represent the four generals who divided his kingdom.

Alexander the Great was only thirty-two years old when he died. That is what Daniel is referring to when he said that the mighty horn was broken at the peak of his power. Greece was represented by a goat in those days. The word Aegean means "goat" so the Aegean Sea means the 'Goat Sea.'5 This is the sea between Greece and Turkey. Years ago, different lands were assigned to the signs of the zodiac according to astronomical geography. Aries the ram represents Persia. Capricorn the goat represents Greece. The word 'Caper' means goat and 'cornu' means horn. So you have Greece represented in the heavens as a horned-goat."6
