Pan and Olympus

myminifactory

In ancient Greek mythology and religion, Pan is revered as the deity of untamed nature, pastoral shepherds, and their flocks, rugged mountain landscapes, rustic melodies, and spontaneous musical expressions. As a companion to the nymphs, Pan exhibits the distinctive physical characteristics of a goat, specifically his hindquarters, legs, and horns, which are strikingly similar to those of a faun or satyr. Pan is often depicted in sensual scenes, as seen in this relief, where he makes bold advances on the young Olympus with great enthusiasm.
