Now it was clear to everyone with any sense that these apparitions and noises were the work of Pan and that he had some grudge against the sailors. But they couldn't work out the reason; for they hadn't plundered any shrine of Pan. But then, around midday, the general fell asleep (not without divine prompting), and Pan himself appeared to him and spoke in this way.
"Most unholy and impious of men, what madness has driven you to act so recklessly? You've filled the countryside I love with war; you've driven off herds of cows, goats, and sheep that are under my care; you've dragged from the altars a girl whom Love wants to make the subject of a story; and you showed no shame before the Nymphs when they watched what you did, or before me – Pan. If you sail on with these spoils, you'll never see Methymna, nor will you escape this piping that has made you so panic-stricken. Instead I shall sink your ship and make you food for the fish unless, immediately, you hand back Chloe to the Nymphs and the flocks to Chloe, both the goats and the sheep. So get up and put the girl ashore, together with the animals I spoke of. I myself will be your guide on sea, and hers on land."
– Longus, from Daphnis and Chloe (2nd century AD), translated from Greek by Christopher Gill (1989)
