Greek gods - others
Pan
In Greek mythology, Pan is the god of forests, pastures, herds and also of shepherds and hunters. He is often identified with the Faun. Pan was the son of the nymph Dryopes and the god Hermes. Other sources say he was the son of the god Zeus and the nymph Oineis.
Pan had a semi-animal form - he was covered with fur, had horns, hooves and a tail. The other gods despised him, so he left Olympus for Arcadia. Here he lived in the company of mountain nymphs, satyrs and the wine god Dionysus.
Here he also fell in love with the beautiful nymph Syrinx. But she didn't return his love because she didn't like Pan's looks. Pan, however, was not to be deterred and continued to show his affection for the nymph, even to the point of following Syrinx everywhere. One day he drove her to the river, where Syrinx allowed herself to be turned into a reed to escape Pan. Even after that, Pan's love did not subside, and he made a pipe out of reeds, on which he played sad songs. From that time on, whoever disturbed him from his sleep or on his wanderings in the forest, Pan, by his cries and appearance, gave him great fear. That's where today's word "panic" comes from.
