A look into mythology will reveal the ram was associated with many gods over time.The Celtic god Cernunnos is shown with the ram. Some depictions show him seated with a ram-headed snake by his side a symbolic gesture of renewal and power. In ancient Egypt the god Amun-Ra took on the persona of Khnum, the creator god who was always depicted with a ram’s head. In Scandinavia, Thor was close with the ram, and was fabled to use rams to pull his chariot. The Ancient Greek gods Zeus and Apollo were also associated with this animal, due to its qualities of leadership, godship and fearlessness.
