  • More about Pan: The Great God's Modern Return


Pan, a hybrid creature that straddles the line between human and animal, has been explored in mythology, art, literature, music, spirituality, and popular culture. He is portrayed as both a dangerous and a fertility and renewal force, revealing shifting anxieties about our animal impulses and our relationship with nature. Despite ancient sources declaring his death, he has lived on through the work of Arthur Machen, Gustav Mahler, Kenneth Grahame, D. H. Lawrence, and countless others. Pan: The Great Gods Modern Return explores his captivating dance.

Pan, a creature that blends aspects of both humans and animals, serves as a bridge between the two realms. In his captivating prose, Paul Robichaud delves into the diverse interpretations of Pan across mythology, art, literature, music, spirituality, and popular culture throughout history. At times, Pan manifests as a perilous and disruptive force, while at others, he embodies fertility and renewal. Through his portrayals, Robichaud uncovers shifting concerns about our inherent animal desires and our connection to the natural world. Despite being an outsider throughout, Pan has become a deity of choice for gay writers, occult practitioners, and New Age mystics. While ancient sources claimed his demise, his legacy endures through the works of Arthur Machen, Gustav Mahler, Kenneth Grahame, D. H. Lawrence, and countless others. Pan: The Great Gods Modern Return follows his captivating dance.
