Pan (Faunus)
Pan (Faunus)
Pan is one wild and crazy guy. Maybe it's because he's got the legs and horns of a goat, or maybe it's because he spends all his time in the woods and fields. Whatever the case, this god of shepherds, wilderness, rustic music, and male sexuality is notorious for being totally off the chain. The little goat-god's favorite pastimes include rocking out on his pan flute, getting rip roarin' drunk with his satyr buddies at the Bacchanals of Dionysus, and trying to seduce any pretty young thing who comes his way. Buckle your seatbelts, Shmoopers.
