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]], 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.

ギリシャの歴史家プルタルコス（『De defectu oraculorum』「託宣の陳腐化」）によれば<ref>''Moralia'', Book 5:17.</ref>、パーンはギリシャ神話の中で唯一実際に死ぬ神である。ティベリウス帝の時代（AD14-37）、ギリシャのパクシ島を経由してイタリアに向かう船乗りタムスのもとに、パーンの死の知らせがもたらされた。海の向こうで、神々しい声がタムスを呼んだ。「タムス、そこにいるのか。パロデスに着いたら、偉大な神パーンが死んだと宣べ伝えてくれ<ref>[http://omega.cohums.ohio-state.edu/mailing_lists/CLA-L/2002/07/0398.php "Where or what was Palodes?"].</ref>。」と。。」と。タムスはそれを実行し、その知らせは岸辺から呻きと嘆きで迎えられた。
[[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>
