Greek Mythology: A Brief Introduction to Pan Pan
Pan is a figure in Greek mythology. He was originally the pastoral god of Acadia. People believe that he lives in the mountains of Greece and is regarded as the patron saint of shepherds, so one of his attributes is the lagoon-rabbit trap. Not completely human, his legs are goat's legs and he has horns on his head. Related to music and its magical power, he is believed to have invented the Syrian musical instrument, better known as the Paixiao.

There are various myths about Pan's birth, but Hermes is most often called his father and his mother is a fairy. In Greek mythology, Pan fell in love with the beautiful fairy Celine, the daughter of the river god bin Laden. Lincks evaded his attention and begged Zeus to save her. Just as Pan caught Mu Xian, Zeus turned her into a reed. Pan, who became angry from embarrassment, smashed the reed into pieces, but in retrospect, he regretted it and cried and kissed the broken reed and everything left of his beloved. When he kissed the reed, he found that his breath could make a sound from the reed, so he made a musical instrument with the name of the lost fairy written on it.

Other female images that cause Pan's love are: the echo and pity of the fairy, and the incarnation of the moon. Finally, in some myths, Pan also developed a passion for the goddess Aphrodite.

Related to music and its magical power, he is considered as the inventor of flute.

Caves are usually associated with the worship of gods, especially the Korkykeion Cave on the hillside of PaNasos Mountain, which is dedicated to Pan God and Goddess. Another cave used as a place of worship is the Wali Cave in Attica. In particular, shepherds offer sacrifices to the gods, usually children, goats or sheep, or provide statues of small shepherds made of clay as offerings. Other typical sacrifices include gold vases, lamps and grasshoppers. Like Al themis, he is also admired by hunters, and his realm is considered as the realm of small games such as wild birds. Pan has close ties with Delphi and Athens, where he established worship of gods, including castrating goats and torch competitions. According to this myth (told by the Greek historian Herodotus), this cult was established in return for Pan's help to the Athenians in the marathon.

Pan appeared in Greek art around 500 BC. In his early Greek pottery performance, he was a whole goat with a leg of lamb standing upright in the back hill. In later red pottery, he obtained a person's upper body and head, but there were goat horns, usually priestesses and Sartre. God is also associated with ceremonies and celebrations related to Dionysus. In the 4th century BC, Pan appeared on the back of a coin minted for the Acadian Union.

During the Hellenistic period, the popularity of this god increased, and he was associated with the panic that might spread among soldiers in fierce fighting. Similar excessive violence (insanity) can also defeat a person. In Roman times, this god was called "everything", an omnipotent god, and a game with another meaning of the word Pan.
