ANCIENT CULT
OF PAN
Athens, Oct. 12.
Valuable light is expected to be thrown on the cult of the goat-legged god, Pan, in Ancient Greece by discovery of a grotto dedicated to him in a quarry, half a mile from Elcusis.
The grotto
was revealed during blasting operations in the quarry. Workers used dynamite to blow up a rock some 5 metres (about 17 feet) high, at the side of a small mound.
