| Description |
The Greek god of shepherds and flocks, who was
especially popular in Arcadia. He is a son of the
god Hermes. He was depicted as a satyr with a
reed pipe, a shepherd's crook and a branch of
pine or crown of pine needles. He had a wrinkled
face with a very prominent chin. On his forehead
were two horns and his body was hairy. He was a
swift runner and climbed rocks with ease. Pan
belonged to the retinue of Dionysus.
Pan was also a god of fertility, unbridled male
sexuality and carnal desire. He chased nymphs
through the forests and mountains in the shape
of a goat. Pan was not very liked by the other
Greek gods.
