In Greek mythology, Pan was the son of Hermes, and the god of shepherds. He was an excellent musician, and was at home in wild places, such as forests, where he enjoyed the company of woodland nymphs.
In 2267, Apollo directed Kirk not to bring Spock with him to the surface of Pollux IV, claiming that Spock reminded him of Pan, and that Pan had always bored him. In a way, this proved Apollo's undoing, as Spock was able to marshal the resources of the USS Enterprise to destroy Apollo's temple and end his threat. (TOS: "Who Mourns for Adonais?")
