- echo; Echo
Meaning
Pan is the friend of Echo at XI.9, where the genitive belongs to a named companion. In XXXVIII.19 heavenly echo resounds with the rustling of leaves, foregrounding an audible phenomenon. The two uses are connected by sound, but capitalization alone should not replace attention to the distinct constructions.
