As far as I know, in Homer's epic Pan had no presence during the Trojan War. But the many different liaisons of the gods and the many people and magical beings, events and tradition of the Greek weave together in Napoli's hands to create a new addition to the classical world. I don't know enough to determine if it directly conflicts with the canon of Greek mythology, but it's highly enjoyable and a worthwhile read. (  ) valkylee | Dec 11, 2007 |  This is a lovely book that follows Pan of Greek mythology as he falls in love with Iphigenia, a Trojan princess. Lots of great mythological information and the writing is strong. I love greek myths and the poetic way in which Napoli explores them is highly enjoyable. A good read! ( )1  WoodWoman | Nov 20, 2007 | A retelling of the Greek myths about Pan, both goat and god, whose reed flute frolicking leads him to a meeting with Iphigenia, a human raised as the daughter of King Agamemnon and Queen Clytemnestra.
