In Greek mythology, the god Pan is depicted as a rustic deity associated with nature, fertility, and the wild. Pan is often portrayed with the legs and horns of a goat, symbolizing his connection to the earthy, pastoral world. He is known for his musical abilities, particularly with the pan flute. As a protector of shepherds and flocks, Pan embodies the carefree spirit of the countryside, inspiring both reverence and fear among those who encounter him.
