Gods - Greek mythology

 

Pan in Greek mythology, he is the god of the woods, the fields, the herds and the shepherds. He lives in caves and wanders through the valleys and mountains, hunting or dancing with the nymphs. He is represented with ears, horns and goat's legs, lover of the music, always brings with him a flute. It is feared by all those who need to cross the forests at night, for the darkness and loneliness of the crossing predisposed them to sudden haunts, devoid of any apparent cause, and which are attributed to Pan; hence the term "panic".

 

Story


Pan fell in love with the naiad Sírinx, who rejected his love with disdain, refusing to accept him as his lover because he was neither man nor goat. Pan then pursued her, but Siringe, on reaching the bank of the river Ladon and seeing that there was no possibility of escape, asked the nymphs of the rivers, the naiads, to change their form. They, hearing his prayers, heeded his request and turned it into a reed. When Pan caught up with her and wanted to catch her, there was nothing except the reed and the sound the air produced through it. Upon hearing that sound, Pan was enchanted and decided to join reeds of different sizes, inventing a musical instrument which he called Syrinx, in honor of the nymph. This musical instrument is best known by the name of the flute of bread, in honor of the god himself.

Pan would have been one of the sons of Zeus with his dairy goat Amalthea. His great love however was Selene the Moon. In an Egyptian version, Pan was with other gods on the banks of the Nile River and Typhon appeared, enemy of the gods. Fear turned each of the gods into animals, and Pan, frightened, plunged into a river and disguised half his body, leaving only the head and upper body, which resembled that of a goat; the submerged part adopted an aquatic appearance. Zeus considered this prank stratagem very clever and, as homage, turned it into a constellation, which would be Capricorn.
