Amalthes was a goat who suckled Zeus along to the stage where he could take on a little meatier nourishment. So Zeus thought a lot of the old goat‘ and set her up among the stars. However, in lieu of a mink coat, he took one of Amalthea’s gilded horns and presented it to one of his favorite nymphs and endowed it with the power of becoming filled with whatever its possessor wished.
