Inspired from the cult of Bacchus (Roman) or 'Dionysus'. Worship of the horned goat (otherwise known as a capricorn) was strongly associated to Bacchian festivities particularly at the rituals of the winter solstice through-out the civilized world. During the festivities which sometimes lasted for weeks, men would disguise themselves with horned masks, drink plenty of wine and celebrate their 'anonymity' in large groups. During the celebrations, participants would release themselves totally and give in to some of their darkest passions. Dionysus, the god of intoxication and debauchery would allegedly overlook the celebrations performed in his honor.

Most famous of all the symbol and figures of this worship is the iconic symbolism of the Satyrs who were a troop of men accompanying Pan and Dionysus. The satyrs, famous for their appearance with large extended erections were flute players that roamed the mountains and in Roman antiquity they took on a goat-like appearance with horns. The myth of the Satyrs and the pagan cult of Dionysus is where the contemporary expression 'horny devil' comes from!
