Greek
Pan
The Greek god of shepherds and wild places, who plays the pipes.
Pan is a Greek god of shepherds, flocks and the wild countryside, especially in Arcadia. He is shown with goat's legs and horns and is famous for playing the reed pipes, called panpipes.
In a well-known tale the nymph Syrinx turns into reeds to escape him, and he makes the first pipes from them. A sudden, causeless fright in a lonely place was said to come from him, and he was said to hate being woken from his midday nap. Our word "panic" comes from his name. Despite that, he is mostly a cheerful, music-loving figure of the hills.
