I am pretty certain that there were a number of seperate gods in those days. Some of these gods were related, some forming triads of particular power, others seen as different aspects of the same god.

But I find it highly doubtful that one god known for goat horns would have been portrayed as having rams horns.

This is the times of the pre-literate - visual communication was therefore of increased importance - images had to convey an obvious message - one re-inforced by the bards. This was also a time of strict adherance to the bards message - the bard being the bringer of truth - written words could lie but a bard could not. I think everyone knew that such and such a god had X horns, and they all know why he/she had them - they would have been part and parcel of the god myth.

"But I find it highly doubtful that one god known for goat horns would have been portrayed as having rams horns."

I think I agree with you here. I wasn't trying to say that they were the same deity, or that one set of horns is as good as the next, more arguing that they embody similar ideas. Both rams and goats horns, for example, could be seen as symbols of masculinity. I wonder if the goat and the ram gods have a common ancestor... (and I genuinely don't know)
