最丑陋的神——潘神（摩羯座）
Pan was generally represented as a vigorous and lustful figure having the horns, legs, and ears of a goat; in later art the human parts of his form were much more emphasized.
潘一般被描绘成一个有着山羊的角、腿和耳朵的充满活力和欲望的形象；在后来的艺术中，他的身体的人的部分被更加强调。
He haunted the high hills, and his chief concern was with flocks and herds, not with agriculture; hence he can make humans, like cattle, stampede in “panic” terror.
他经常出没在高山上，他主要关心的是羊群和牛群，而不是农业；因此他可以使人类像牛一样，在“恐慌”的恐怖中踩踏。
Like a shepherd, he was a piper and he rested at noon.
他像牧羊人一样吹笛，中午休息。
Pan was insignificant in literature, aside from Hellenistic bucolic, but he was a very common subject in ancient art.
潘在文学上是微不足道的，除了希腊化的田园诗，但在古代艺术中他是一个非常普遍的主题。
His rough figure was antithetical to, for example, that of Apollo, who represented culture and sophistication.
如，他的粗犷身材与阿波罗的形象是对立的，阿波罗代表着文化和世故。
Pan also was thought to inspire panic, the paranoid fear that has the potential to reduce human beings to their most animalistic instincts, particularly when they are in lonely places.
潘也被认为会引发恐慌，这种偏执的恐惧有可能使人类出现最具动物性的本能，尤其是当他们身处孤独的地方时。
In astrology, Capricornus (also called Capricorn) is the 10th sign of the zodiac, considered as governing the period from about December 22 to about January 19.
在占星术中，摩羯座是黄道带的第10个星座，被认为是12月22日到1月19日期间的主宰。
摩羯座
One explanation of the fishtail with which the goat is often represented is found in the Greek myth of Pan, who, to avoid the monster Typhon, jumped into the water just as he was changing into animal shape.
希腊神话中的潘（Pan）解释了摩羯座图案中，山羊经常被描绘成鱼尾的原因，他为了躲避怪物提丰（Typhon），在他变成动物时跳入水中。
Typhon
由潘派生的词
潘神吼声很吓人，所以引申出panic（恐慌），panic（恐慌）是“所有人都恐惧”的意思，所以引申出pan-（“全，平面”词根）；潘神爱追美女，爱吹排箫。pan-进一步引申得到pan（平底锅），经过若干年演化，形成了以口型判断维度的基本规则，pan，clap，band都是平面状的，pen，clip，bind都是条状的，pin是点状的。bind还可以继续引申出conbine。pan-还可以引申为panorama，panel。pin引申出：“在下面打钉子”underpin;"用钉子指出"“重点指出”pinpoint。以及“长满刺的”pine。point引申出spot，并 join+point=joint（“参加在一起的点”膝盖）。
