The Probert Encyclopaedia of Greek & Roman Mythology

FAUNUS

In Roman mythology, Faunus was a king who instructed his subjects in agriculture and the management of flocks. Afterwards he was worshiped as the god of fields and shepherds, rather like the Greek Pan, with whom he became associated and whose attributes he acquired. He was the son of Picus and the grandson of Saturn. His female counterpart was Fauna.
