Why are demons and the devil depicted with goat-like features?

489 viewsOther

I know that back in the day, goats were said to whisper lewd things into the ears of priests (because goats are a naturally horny animal and often blabber to attract ladies). But whenever I see depictions of the devil or demons, they usually have cloven hooves or a goats head?
Does anyone know why this is or where it comes from?

No idea if that’s true or if this was said before or after satan was associated with goats but I heard that some people believe goats are satan’s attempt at creating sheeps because sheeps are associated with god
