ヘロドートスは、エジプトの年表ではパーンが最も古い神々であると書いているが、パーンをヘルメースとペネロペの息子とする説では、ヘロドートスの800年前、つまりトロイア戦争後にパーンは生まれたことになる<ref>ヘロドートスは紀元前485年頃に生まれたので、彼の計算ではパーンは1285年頃に生まれたことになる。ギリシャの古代学者が推定するトロイア戦争よりも「早く」、エラトステネスが推定する年代よりも1世紀前になる。</ref>。ヘロドートスは、ギリシャ人がパーンの名を初めて知ったのはその時だろうと結論づけた<ref>Herodotus, ''Histories'' II.145</ref>。

The goat-god [[Aegipan]] was nurtured by [[Amalthea (mythology)|Amalthea]] with the infant [[Zeus]] in Crete. In Zeus' battle with [[Typhon]], Aegipan and [[Hermes]] stole back Zeus' "sinews" that Typhon had hidden away in the [[Corycian Cave]].<ref>"In this story Hermes is clearly out of place. He was one of the youngest sons of Zeus and was brought into the story only because... he was a master/thief. The real participant in the story was Aigipan: the god Pan, that is to say. in his quality of a goat (''aix''). (Kerenyi, p. 28). Kerenyi points out that Python of Delphi had a son Aix ([[Plutarch]], ''Moralia'' 293c) and detects a note of kinship betrayal.</ref> Pan aided his foster-brother in the [[Titanomachy|battle with the Titans]] by letting out a horrible screech and scattering them in terror. According to some traditions, [[Aegipan]] was the son of Pan, rather than his father. The [[constellation]] [[Capricornus]] is traditionally depicted as a [[sea goat|sea-goat]], a goat with a fish's tail (see [[Hecatonchires|"Goatlike" Aigaion called Briareos, one of the Hecatonchires]]). A myth reported as "Egyptian" in [[Gaius Julius Hyginus|Hyginus]]'s ''Poetic Astronomy''<ref>[[Hyginus]], ''Poetic Astronomy'' 2.18: see Theony Condos, ''Star Myths of the Greeks and Romans'' 1997:72.</ref> (which would seem to be invented to justify a connection of Pan with Capricorn) says that when [[Aegipan]]—that is Pan in his goat-god aspect<ref>Kerenyi, p. 95.</ref>—was attacked by the monster Typhon, he dived into the river [[Nile]]; the parts above the water remained a goat, but those under the water transformed into a fish.
