Quotes

  • jkhusainovahas quoted6 years ago
    Faun: Half human and half goat, the Faun of classical mythology is often related to the wood-god Pan. Sometimes considered friendly (helping lost humans in need) but other times evil (causing intense fear in travellers in remote woodland locations), the creatures are often depicted in art playing the flute.
