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?

The Devil with horns and a tail, armed with a pitchfork is inspired by Pluto (roman version of Hades, god of the underworld in greek mythology) and Pan, a Greek god too.
If you only refer to the Bible, it is depicted as a great dragon, a roaring lion or an angel of light.
