"Breathless and transfixed the Mole stopped rowing as the liquid run of that glad piping broke on him like a wave, caught him up, and possessed him utterly. He saw the tears on his comrade's cheeks, and bowed his head and understood." -Kenneth Grahame

[Zakerandsaisu]

There have been a few supernatural episodes, all strangely enchanting. When the Wayfaring Rat comes, he hypnotizes Ratty like the Pied Piper. And in Unlikely Allies, the Weasel who Watches (I think) is the devil.

@neelb4zod That's what I like about this adaptation. It doesn't stereotype like the book sometimes does. But all the same, nothing can really compare to Kenneth Graham's language, particularly in this part of the book. Everyone should read this book, preferably without the jade that age brings.

@rayblack2004 No, I think that Pan is actually holding Portly between his hooves. Rat lingers to look at his hoofprints after Pan disappears.

Pan is the Great God Pan of the wild, shepherds and flocks, nature, of mountain wilds, hunting and rustic music. Greek of cause he was always chasing nymphs, Christians always were frightened of the old Gods there god hung around for a bit now seems the Old Gods are on the march again they never went away..blessed be

@TheToongrrl

Which also goes to prove that many, many people don't even know their own religion.

I've heard what you described myself...that people have often mistaken satyrs as devils, despite that the image of the devil is actually a total rip-off of satyrs to begin with.

@HeavyBeatsUK

Pan is a faun (or satyr), just like Mr. Tumnus in C. S. Lewis' The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe

neither Pan nor Mr. Tumnus is a devil

[journeyman2mage]

@neelb4zod in the Greek myths, Pan caused "panic" in human beings lost in the woods, but there is nothing in the myths to suggest he caused fear in animals of any size, including small animals

actually, there is some indication that he was kind to forest animals and protected them from hunters on occasion

so it makes sense he helped an otter child (and a mole and a water rat)

[journeyman2mage]

this is one of the most beautiful renditions of the mystical side of the imagery associated with Pan

i also love how even the weasels were worried about young Portley after the otter hunters came through
