Pan or Panas: The Goat-footed God, protector of herdsmen, hunters, fishermen 18cm Full length alabaster statue

In ancient Greek

Religion and mythology, Pan is the god of the wild, shepherds and flocks, rustic music and impromptus, and nymphs’ companion. He has the hindquarters, legs, and horns of a goat, in the same manner as a faun or satyr. With his homeland in rustic Arcadia, he is also recognized as the god of fields, groves, wooded glens and often affiliated with sex, because of this, Pan is connected to fertility and the season of spring. The word panic ultimately derives from his name. In the 18th and 19th centuries, Pan became a significant figure in the Romantic movement of western Europe and also in the 20th-century Neopagan movement. The worship of Pan began in Arcadia which was always the principal seat of his worship, a district of mountain people, culturally separated from other Greeks. Being a rustic god, Pan was not worshipped in temples, but in natural settings, usually caves or grottoes such as the one on Acropolis of Athens, referred to as the Cave of Pan. Generally, Pan is the son of Hermes and a wood nymph, either Dryope or Penelope of Mantineia. His sacred trees were the oak and the pine. His symbols are the flute and the slingshot. Ancient art depicted him in his various occupations and love scenes with the Satyrs, Hermes and Dionysus.
