According to the Greek historian [[Plutarch]] (in ''De defectu oraculorum'', "The Obsolescence of Oracles"),Pan is the only Greek god who actually dies. During the reign of [[Tiberius]] (AD 14–37), the news of Pan's death came to one Thamus, a sailor on his way to Italy by way of the Greek island of [[Paxi]]. A divine voice hailed him across the salt water, "Thamus, are you there? When you reach [[Pelodes|Palodes]],<ref>[http://omega.cohums.ohio-state.edu/mailing_lists/CLA-L/2002/07/0398.php "Where or what was Palodes?"].</ref> take care to proclaim that the great god Pan is dead." Which Thamus did, and the news was greeted from shore with groans and laments.
[[Christian Apologetics|Christian apologists]], including [[Eusebius of Caesarea]], have long made much of Plutarch's story of the death of Pan. Due to the word "all" in Greek also being "pan," a pun was made that "all demons" had perished.<ref>{{cite book |last=Lane Fox |first=Robin |date=1988 |title= Pagans and Christians |location=London |publisher=Penguin Books |page=130 |isbn=0-14-009737-6}}</ref>
