Pan teaching the shepherd Daphnis to play the syrinx (panpipes), made of reeds. Roman marble copy of the 2nd century CE after a Hellenistic original by Heliodoros of Rhodes (active ca. 100 BCE). Characteristic of Hellenistic production of sculptures with pastoral and erotic subjects, used as garden decorations. Daphnis, by legend the son of Hermes, was said to be the inventor of pastoral poetry. [source: museum label]
