| 2461 | ENT_ITA_FAUNUS | aligned_with | ENT_PAN | high | Roman writers explicitly identified Faunus with the Greek Pan: Cicero (De Natura Deorum 2.6) calls Pan the "Faunus" of the Greeks; Ovid (Fasti 2.267-270) explicitly compares and equates the two. Both deities are prophetic, goat-footed (in some traditions), associated with wildlands and shepherds, and attached to a major initiatory festival (Lupercalia/Pan-Greek Paneia). The identification is so complete that Roman mythographers treated them as interchangeable. Confidence high: explicit ancient identification. | SRC_OVID_FASTI | reviewed | PER_ITA_ARCHAIC |
