«You will find on the left of the halls of Hades a spring, and standing by it a white cypress. Do not approach this spring at all. You will find another, from the Lake of Memory, with cold water flowing from it. Guardians stand before it. Say: 'I am a child of Earth and starry Heaven, but my race is of Heaven alone. You know this yourselves. I am parched with thirst and am perishing. Give me quickly the cold water flowing from the Lake of Memory.' And they will give you to drink from the sacred spring, and after that you will reign among the other heroes» - From the Petelia Tablet (300-200 BCE)

The combination of Pan’s rustic appearance, the flute, and the surrounding mountain landscape gives this artwork a strong mythological atmosphere. I especially like how the natural setting makes the scene feel peaceful while still capturing the wild character traditionally associated with Pan.
