The mischievous god of woodlands and wildlife, he was the hybrid half-man half-goat with horns, giving us our word 'panic', as he had a habit of leaping out to scare unsuspecting nymphs.
His favourite haunt was Arcadia in the central Peloponnese and Ovid in his Metamorphoses tells the story of how 'Pan Pipes' were invented.

The bronze pieces are cast in Greece using the traditional lost wax method. As nothing is mass-produced, there will inevitably be slight variations in texture, patina, and colour. No two pieces are ever the same. If mounted on a marble base, it will be a black or very dark grey base. There may be a variation of some millimetres in the dimensions of the base from time to time.
It's All Greek is proud to have been working with the Semitekolo family foundry since 1999. It has been a privilege to handle these gorgeous pieces and to sell them to customers all over the world.
