From a website (http://thanasis.com/pan.htm):-
The son of Hermes and Penelope, or Zeus and Hybris, Pan was the Greek god of shepherds and flocks, who was especially popular in Arcadia. He was depicted as a satyr with a reed pipe, a shepherd's crook and a branch of pine or crown of pine needles.
In Greek mythology the satyrs are deities of the woods and mountains. They are half human and half beast; they usually have a goat's tail, flanks and hooves. While the upper part of the body is that of a human, they also have the horns of a goat. They are the companions of Dionysus, the god of wine, and they spent their time drinking, dancing, and chasing nymphs.
