In Greek mythology, goatskin shields appear as possessions of Zeus and Athena. Zeus' shield is covered with the skin of Amalthea, a female goat who served as his nurse in Crete, symbolizing his role as the weather god who gathers the clouds. Athena's shield has the head of Gorgo Medusa, a gift from Perseus, attached to its center, making it a terrifying weapon that turns anyone who sees it to stone.

ギリシア神話にゼウスおよびアテナの持物として現われるやぎ皮の楯。ゼウスの楯には,クレタ島で彼の乳母役をつとめた雌やぎアマルテイアの皮が張られ,雲を集める気象神としての彼の働きを象徴する。アテナの楯には中央にペルセウスから献上されたゴルゴ・メドゥサの頭が取付けられ,見る者を化石にしてしまう恐ろしい武器である。
