  summary: The passage describes Pan, identified parenthetically as Faunus, as a rural
    god of fertility, shepherds, huntsmen, Satyrs, music, prophecy, and panic terror.
    It recounts his birth with goat-like and unattractive features, Hermes bringing
    him to Olympus, his favorite haunts in grottoes, rocks, mountains, woods, trees,
    and caves, the myth of Syrinx’s transformation into reeds and the origin of Pan’s
    pipe, his protection of flocks, his worship in caves and Arcadia, his oracle,
    iconography, offerings, sacrifices, and later association with Dionysus and Panisci.
