god

Pan

also: the son of Pan, Sohn des Pan

Greek god of the wild, shepherds, and rustic music, often depicted with goat's legs. In Trakl the 'son of Pan' appears as an elemental, sleeping figure in stone (section 5, Gedichte) and as a laborer sleeping on asphalt at noon (section 39), merging classical myth with modern urban alienation.
