Hello everyone, today I have an art Faun)
Fawn is a kind, gracious god (from the Latin favere - to be supportive, the names Faustus, Faustulus, Favonius come from here). In the image of the Faun, the ancients revered the good spirit of mountains, meadows, fields, caves, herds, bestowing fertility on the fields, animals and people, the prophetic god, the ancient king Latsium and the ancestor of many ancient families, the incubator of the original culture. At the same time, along with a single personal deity, they believed in the existence of many homogeneous and homonymous demons in which the attributes of the Faun himself were embodied.
Like Sylvanas, the Faunus, like a forest god, lives in thickets, secluded caves or near noisy springs, where he predicts the future, catches birds and pursues nymphs. He communicates with a person either in a dream or from afar, frightening and warning him with forest voices. He inspires the so-called "panic fear" as travelers, so sometimes during the war and the enemies. He wanders in the woods with an invisible spirit: in this regard, the dog, which was credited with the ability to see spirits, was dedicated to Faun. Being a man in a dream, the Faun often torments him with a nightmare: against this, special roots and ointments were used, especially the root of the forest peony. The fauns of women whom God pursued with his love were especially careful, hence his epithet - “Incubus”.
