The word "Aegolethron" is a term that is not commonly known amongst the general public. It is spelled with the Greek letters "αιγός" (pronounced /eɣos/) meaning "goat", "λέων" (pronounced /le.on/) meaning "lion", and "θρόνος" (pronounced /θro.nos/) meaning "throne". Therefore, the word can be phonetically transcribed as /eiɡoʊˈleθɹən/. This term is believed to have originated in ancient Greek mythology and is often associated with a mythical creature that is depicted as a goat with a lion's head and a throne on its back.
