The Lesser Divinities of Earth were: — (1) Pan, son of Mercury and a wood-nymph or Dryad. […] Hence sudden unreasonable fright was ascribed to Pan, and called a Panic terror. […] Pan, meeting her one day, wooed her with many compliments, likening her to Diana of the silver bow. […] Pan threw his arms around what he supposed to be the form of the nymph, and found he embraced only a tuft of reeds. […] Apollo, Pan, and Midas.
