Hi, Feeling great to participate in the sculpture of Indian or Greek mythology challenge.
I would like to stick on a hybrid character called PAN. I have collected some article about him and Here i am submitting them to know better about him.
PAN was the god of shepherds and flocks, of mountain wilds, hunting and rustic music. He wandered the hills and mountains of Arkadia playing his pan-pipes and chasing Nymphs. His unseen presence aroused feelings of panic in men passing through the remote, lonely places of the wilds.
*THE NYMPHAI (or Nymphs) were female spirits of the natural world, minor goddesses of the forests, rivers, springs, meadows, mountains and seas.
Pan inspired sudden fear in lonely places, Panic. Following the Titans' assault on Olympus, Pan claimed credit for the victory of the gods because he had inspired disorder and fear in the attackers resulting in the word 'panic' to describe these emotions. Of course, Pan was later known for his music, capable of arousing inspiration, sexuality, or panic, depending on his intentions. In the Battle of Marathon (490 B.C.), it is said that Pan favored the Athenians and so inspired panic in the hearts of their enemies, the Persians.
The concept art on this character (as per rule) is on progress. Will post them as soon as i finish them. Cheers !!! :)
