Pan, the God

Pan is an ancient Greek god associated with nature, wilderness, and rustic music. Often depicted as a half-human, half-goat figure, he embodies the wild and untamed aspects of nature. As the god of shepherds and flocks, Pan symbolizes rural life, fertility, and merriment, especially known for his siren-like music played on the pan flute. His presence evokes the joy, spontaneity, and sometimes the fears of the natural world, making him a vital figure in Greek mythology representing the connection between humans and the wilderness.
