The son of
Hermes and the mortal Thessalian princess Dryope, the satyr-like Pan ("Faunus" in Latin) is the god of shepherds and flocks. Usually inebriated and overly-amorous, he is often found playing his syrinx (pan flute) and leading the other gods in song and dance. In modern times, he has posed as a museum security guard and a bartender in the Swiss Alps.
