WYLAM BREWERY: Faunus Research

In ancient Roman religion and myth, Faunus was the horned god of the forest, plains and fields; when he made cattle fertile he was called Inuus. He came to be equated in literature with the Greek god Pan.
As Pan was accompanied by the Paniskoi, or little Pans, so the existence of many Fauni was assumed besides the chief Faunus.
Romans connected their fauns with the Greek satyrs, who were wild and orgiastic drunken followers of Dionysus, who is the greek equivalent of Bacchus.
