A goat on the castle rocks in Myrina, on the isle of Lemnos, Greece (@ Ashley Cooper/Corbis)
comments,
- This goat is taking a moment to gaze out across an ancient sea.""Maybe he got tired of the beautiful island behind him
- In Greek mythology, the god of blacksmiths was cast out of Olympus by his father, Zeus, and landed on this island.""Who is this divine craftsman?
- Our shaggy friend makes his home in a country with over 1,000 islands in addition to its mainland.""Only 227 of the islands are inhabited, and this is one of them
- In the United States, goats seem almost a novelty, more pet than livestock.""But they\re some of the world\s earliest domesticated animals
