Pan (mythology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1121 words)
Pan also loved a nymph named Pitys, who was turned into a pine tree to escape him.
He was believed by the Greeks to have plied his charms primarily on maidens and shepherds, such as Daphnis.
Though he failed with Syrinx and Pitys, Pan didn't fail with the Maenads—he had every one of them, in one orgiastic riot or another.
