PAN

Picture of Pan

Pan was the Greek god who looked after shepherds and their flocks. His parentage is unsure. In some accounts he is the son of Zeus, in others the son of Hermes. His mother was a nymph. In fear of the great Typhon, Pan changed himself into a goat and was made by Zeus one of the signs of the zodiac - Capricorn.
