This god of the shepherds chiefly resided in Arcadia, where the woods and the mountains were his habitation.

——————"His mighty palace roof doth hang

From jagged trunks, and overshadoweth

Eternal whispers, glooms, the birth, life, death,

Of unseen flowers in heavy peacefulness.

Who loves to see the hamadryads dress

Their ruffled locks, where meeting hazels darken,

And through whole solemn hours, dost sit and harken

The dreary melody of bedded reeds."

Keats.
