An analysis of the origins and rise to popularity of the god Pan in ancient Greece. Making use of extensive historical, textual, and philological materials, Borgeaud traces Pan's transformation from a rural god of shepherds, wild places, and wild impulses to a popular god of the urban and urbane Athenians.
