2460 Picus ENT_ITA_PICUS parent_of Faunus ENT_ITA_FAUNUS high Virgil Aeneid 7.48: "Fauno Picus pater" — Picus is the father of Faunus, making Picus the first generation of the Latin divine genealogy. This sequence (Picus → Faunus → Latinus → Lavinia ← Aeneas) is the genealogical spine of Virgil's Latium foundation myth. Virgil Aeneid 7.45-48.

2464 Silvanus ENT_ITA_SILVANUS aligned_with Pan ENT_PAN medium Silvanus and Pan share the structural function of deity of uncultivated, boundary wildlands, and both are associated with shepherds and the rustic world beyond the city. Virgil's Eclogues place them in equivalent roles: "Silvanus and Pan and the sisterhood of Naiads" (Ecl. 10.24-26). Ancient writers sometimes grouped them together as rural deities. However, unlike Faunus/Pan, the identification of Silvanus with Pan is less systematic — Silvanus has a distinctly Italic character (boundary guardian, property deity) that Pan lacks. Confidence medium: structural parallel and Virgilian grouping, not explicit identification. Virgil, Aeneid (19 BCE) SRC_VIRGIL_AENEID reviewed Archaic Italic (c. 900–509 BCE) PER_ITA_ARCHAIC
