The parentage of Pan is unclear; generally he is the son of [[Hermes]] and a [[Dryad|wood nymph]], either [[Dryope]] or [[Penelope (dryad)|Penelope]] of [[Mantineia]] in Arcadia. In some early sources such as [[Pindar]], his father is [[Apollo]] and mother Penelope.<ref>Pindar, Fr. 90 ([[Maurice Bowra|Bowra]])</ref> Apollodorus records two distinct divinities named Pan; one who was the son of Hermes and Penelope, and the other who had Zeus and a nymph named Hybris for his parents, and was the mentor of Apollo.<ref>Apollodorus, ''Bibliotheca'' 1.4.1 and e.7.38</ref> [[Pausanias (geographer)|Pausanias]] records the story that Penelope had in fact been unfaithful to her husband, who banished her to Mantineia upon his return.<ref>Pausanias, ''Description of Ancient Greece'' 8.12.5</ref> Other sources ([[Duris of Samos]]; the Vergilian commentator [[Servius (grammarian)|Servius]]) report that Penelope slept with all 108 suitors in Odysseus' absence, and gave birth to Pan as a result.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=QKMNAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA305 Footnote in the ''Library'' by Apollodorus (of Athens)], edited by E.
