Pan was closely identified with several other rustic deities including Aristaios (Aristaeus), the shepherd-god of northern Greece who shared the god's titles of Agreus (Hunter) and Nomios (Shepherd), the pipe-playing Phrygian satyr Marsyas who challenged Apollon to a musical contest, and Aigipan (Aegipan), the goat-fish god of the constellation Capricorn. However its true origin lay in an old Arcadian word for rustic. In the classical age the Greeks associated his name with the word pan meaning "all". He often appears in scenes of the company of Dionysos. Pan was depicted as a man with the horns, legs and tail of a goat, a thick beard, snub nose and pointed ears. And a third, Ekho (Echo), was cursed to fade away for spurning the god, leaving behind just a voice to repeat his mountain cries. Another, Syrinx, escaped but was turned into a clump of reeds from which Pan crafted his pipes. One of these, Pitys, fled his advances and was transformed into a mountain-pine, the god's sacred tree. Pan idled in the rugged countryside of Arkadia (Arcadia), playing his panpipes and chasing Nymphs. His unseen presence aroused panic in those who traversed his realm. PAN was the god of shepherds and hunters, and of the meadows and forests of the mountain wilds. All ( pan), Rustic Pan, Greco-Roman mosaic from Daphne C2nd-3rd A.D., Hatay Archaeology Museum
