Pan is the god of the forest and
of the shepherd. He is described as half human
and half goat. His birth was in Arcadia but there is still a discussion of
which are his parents. Some say he his a son of Hermes and Rhea others say
that he is a son of Crones and Rhea. Also rumor going
around,
that his mother was a nymph but as he saw him she was startled and left
him. Hermes found the baby and brought it to the Olympus.
Often he felt in love with nymphs
but however they never replied his love. The nymph Peuke transformed in a
tree to escape of his desire and as Echo didn't fall in love with him he
tore her up.
They say that he his also the god
of panic and 490 BC in the battle of
Marathon he screamed that loud and put the Persian to flight.
