1347 Pan ENT_PAN received_as Pan (Romantic-Victorian Reception) ENT_REC_PAN_ROMANTIC high Greek Pan received in 19th-century British Romanticism as the immanent spirit of wild nature and pre-Christian freedom. Hutton (Triumph of the Moon, 1999) documents this specifically: Shelley, Keats, Byron, Swinburne, Carpenter, Grahame. The Greek pastoral deity is transformed into a universal nature-spirit and symbol of pagan counter-culture.

1396 Pan ENT_PAN received_as Devil 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.

1579 Pan ENT_PAN reception_of Min ENT_EGY_MIN high Pan as the Greek reception of the Egyptian Min; Herodotus 2.46 explicit; ithyphallic fertility deity equation; Min's city Akhmim became Panopolis in the Greco-Roman period.
