The primary god was Pan, son of Hermes, god of the forest and of flocks and herds. Being since his name means "everything" in Greek, in another interpretation he was identified as the god of nature. Pan had an ugly appearance with the hooves and tail of a goat and a small horn on his head; he was a good musician even if he wasn't as good as Apoll. He played the flute, formed by a series of reeds of different lengths tied together. Pan made this flute with the reeds which Syrinx the nymph transformed herself to get away from him.
