[45], Black Gate's Matthew David Surridge said that The Great God Pan influenced Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897) as both works feature "an introductory sequence featuring a horrified Englishman in a non-English setting; then a variety of seemingly-unconnected events in London, the metropole at the heart of Empire; then the discovery that all those events are in fact inspired by one malign and supernatural intelligence, that the rational contemporary capital is threatened by the irrational and archaic; then an equivocal conclusion. [15], The parentage of Pan is unclear;[16] generally he is the son of Hermes, although occasionally in some myths of Dionysus, with whom his mother is said to be a wood nymph, sometimes Dryope or, even in the 5th-century AD source Dionysiaca by Nonnus (14.92), Penelope of Mantineia in Arcadia. ", and misinterpreted them as a message directed to an Egyptian sailor named 'Thamus': "Great Pan is Dead!" [8] The structure of Machen's story influenced the structure of Lovecraft's "The Call of Cthulhu" (1928). Why Doesn’t the “Law of Attraction” Always Work? This is Pan’s Labyrinth. [48], Clark Ashton Smith was inspired by The Great God Pan to write his story "The Nameless Offspring" (1931), which also features a monstrous child born of a human and a supernatural entity. In all three of these stories the Pan character leads children into a magical world. Echo wasted away, but her voice could still be heard in caves and other such similar places. What’s more telling is what Pan doesn’t do. "[15][14] Early Christian commentaries suggested that this event occurred at the same time as the death of Christ and that the "death" of Pan represented the transition from a pagan to a Christian world. Maybe the best in the English language. Pan's greatest conquest was that of the moon goddess Selene. To this effect, Chesterton once said, “It is said truly in a sense that Pan died because Christ was born. The novella has influenced the work of horror writers such as Bram Stoker, H. P. Lovecraft, and Stephen King, and has been adapted for the stage twice. Aegipan, literally "goat-Pan," was a Pan who was fully goatlike, rather than half-goat and half-man. [2] The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction says that Helen's "metamorphosis...remains one of the most dramatically horrible and misogynistic in fiction". [13], At one point in the novella, a Latin creed is recited: "Et Diabolus Incarnatus Est. [3] According to The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, the story is "typical of Victorian [science fiction] horror at about the time [science fiction] was beginning to shed its Gothic elements into a separate Horror/fantasy genre. A nature god, Pan is usually depicted with the legs of a goat, horns and carrying a pan-pipe. Grahame's Pan, unnamed but clearly recognisable, is a powerful but secretive nature-god, protector of animals, who casts a spell of forgetfulness on all those he helps. Surridge sees the novella as expressing a fear of women even though the ultimate source of horror in the story is a male deity. As a reward the king of the gods placed him amongst the stars as the Constellation Capricorn. The Great God Pan's implied sexuality caused a scandal upon its original release and hurt Machen's reputation as an author. Nomios' mother was Penelope (not the same as the wife of Odysseus). One day, a young boy stumbles across her "playing on the grass with a 'strange naked man,'"; the boy becomes hysterical and later, after seeing a Roman statue of a satyr's head, becomes permanently feeble-minded. [1] Machen felt that he had "transliterated [the feeling] clumsily" in The Great God Pan, elaborating: "I translated awe, at worst awfulness, into evil; again, I say, one dreams with fire and works in clay.
