Arcadia, although also the name of a region in Greece, as in this series of canvas paintings it also refers to ancient Greek mythology.

Located in the Peloponnese (A geographic region in southern Greece), Arcadia was considered to be a wilderness in which the God Pan resided, along with his dryads, nymphs and other spirits (but not Ouzo at the time).

Nymphs. These are Mythological spirits of nature depicted as beautiful female form women who inhabit rivers and forests.
Dryads. These are nymphs who inhabit trees.

The Satyr God Pan

The God Pan, in Greek mythology, was a deity of the wild, fertility, sexuality and rustic music and taught the shepherd Daphnis to play the Pan flute.

In the Arcadia series of paintings, the point of view is that of Pan (so he is not seen).

Pan’s traditional appearance in art is that of a Satyr, a more or less bestial in form, and is generally represented as a vigorous and lustful figure having horns, legs, and the ears of a goat. However, his mother still loved him.

What Are Pans Strengths & Powers?

Pan had a mighty roar and could display excessive speed without tiring, he had the ability to travel between Mount Olympus and the human realm at any time he chose.

Pan also had the ability to transform objects into something else or other forms. And is known for his varility and for possessing a great sense of humor.

Origin of the Word Panic

Don’t Panic! The modern word “panic” in actual fact comes from the God Pan. In mythology Pan, helped his ally in battle by letting out a mighty roar. This cry scared the enemys which caused them to retreat in terror. Pan’s cry during battle would later become the origin of the word panic.

What are Pans Weaknesses?

Pan’s main weakness was that of lust, forever chasing after nymphs & dryads. Because he was a satyr, (Half man, half goat) he was considered unattractive despite always being constantly sexually arowsed and virulent. Pan was blinkered as was only able to comprehend the lighter and happier human emotions, the causality of pain and suffering were completely alien to him.
