Panolepsy, panic, god PanAbstract
The theolepsy is a very extended phenomenon in Greek Antiquity because the Ancient Greeks believed that the gods intervened frequently in their lives, positively or negatively. Pan is a god commonly associated to divine possession in two ways: the panolepsy (divine possession of a human) and the panic (great horror inflicted on soldiers during a battle). Though the origin of both phenomena is similar, there are some important differences that I analyse in this article.
