Pan

Pan, the Greek god of shepherds, herd fertility, forests and pastures, is depicted with horns, leaning on a rock and playing on the Syrinx alongside his step-brother, a young shepherd Daphnis (the inventor of pastoral poetry), whom he taught to play the flute. Beneath them are two young women, who are taking care of a child, feeding it ambrosia (nectar), the food of the gods that gives gods and the chosen ones immortality and eternal youth. The legend tells it that he made his flute from seven reeds in honour of nymph Syrinx, whom he was in love with, but she changed into reeds when he touched her.
