1396	ENT_PAN	received_as	ENT_CHR_DEVIL	medium	Pan's iconographic form — goat horns, cloven hooves, hairy goat haunches, lustful nature — is the primary visual source for the Christian Devil's physical appearance. Justin Martyr (1 Apol. 25) classifies satyrs and Pan-like beings among demonic figures. The "Pan is dead" story in Plutarch (On the Obsolescence of Oracles 17) was Christianized as the announcement of Satan's overthrow at the crucifixion. The iconographic Devil is a composite primarily derived from Pan, a reception that registers across patristic writing, medieval art, and demonology.	SRC_JUSTIN_MARTYR_APOLOGIES	reviewed	PER_PATRISTIC
