This book is written in a comic format, which was fun to read. The illustrations are vibrantly done and full of details. This would be a great book to have in the classroom when learning about Greek gods and mythology. ( )

The Plot of the book was to tell the God Pan’s story. Pan was too noisy for all of his relatives on Mt. Olympus, so he was sent to live with the mortals in Arcadia. Once in Arcadia he told all the mortals that he would protect them and their sheep, bees, flowers, and they would never go hungry. Pan only asked for quiet during his naptime in return. Pan also fell in love a lot. He fell in love every spring, but eventually did marry Echo and have a daughter Lynx. Pan was a great source of help for the Gods and common people. He helped the Gods fight off the monster Typhon with his panic and Zeus’ bolts, He helped the common mortals fight a battle against the Persians and eventually Pan went into the background never to be seen again. Although he still makes his presence known in chaos every now and again.
