Pan



Pan is the companion of the nymphs in Greek mythology, god of shepherds and flocks, of mountain wilds, hunting and various forms of music. His name originates within the Greek language, from the word paein, meaning "to pasture". He has the legs and horns of a goat, and is considered small in stature. With his homeland in rustic Arcadia, he is recognized as the god of fields, groves, and wooded glens; because of this, Pan is connected to fertility and the season of spring. He is also my second favorite Disney character, my favorite being Mulan's mom.
