Pan is a figure from Greek mythology who was originally a pastoral god from Arcadia. It was believed Pan dwelt in the mountains and forests of Greece. He was the patron of shepherds, hence one of his attributes is the lagobolon - a hare trap. Not fully human in form, Pan's legs are that of a goat and he has horns sprouting from his head. Pan was strongly associated with music and its magical powers; he is credited with inventing the syrinx musical instrument, better known as the panpipes.
