1578	ENT_EGY_MIN	received_as	ENT_PAN	high	Herodotus makes the Min-Pan identification explicit at 2.46: "in Egypt, Pan is reckoned one of the eight gods who are of the earliest rank" — this refers to Min, the ithyphallic deity of Coptos and Akhmim, who was identified by Greek visitors as Pan. The equation rests on: (1) Min's conspicuous ithyphallism, which Greek observers associated with Pan's fertility and sexuality; (2) Min's association with the desert and with wild spaces parallel to Pan's domain; (3) the Egyptian goat cult at Mendes that Herodotus also describes in 2.46 may have reinforced the equation via the goat association of Pan. The identification became standard in the Ptolemaic and Roman periods; the Greco-Roman city of Akhmim (ancient Ipu/Khent-Abt, Min's cult center) was called Panopolis (City of Pan) by the Greeks.
