Greek historian Plutarch reports in his "The Obsolescence of Oracles" (Moralia, Book 5) that during the reign of Tiberius (A.D. 14-37) people on a ship in the Greek Isles heard a great voice cry out to a passenger named Thanus saying "When you come to Palodes, announce that great Pan is dead." So he did so, and those on board heard a great sound of many voices lamenting the death of the god.

Greek historian Plutarch reports in his "The Obsolescence of Oracles" (Moralia, Book 5) that during the reign of Tiberius (A.D. 14-37) people on a ship in the Greek Isles heard a great voice cry out to a passenger named Thanus saying "When you come to Palodes, announce that great Pan is dead." So he did so, and those on board heard a great sound of many voices lamenting the death of the god. Despite the declaration of his death, however, Pan is widely worshiped by Neopagans and Wiccans today, where he is considered a powerful God and an archetype? of male virility and sexuality.
