- horned one
Meaning
Pan is called the true horned Zeus at XI.12. The masculine noun stands in apposition to Zeus within the address to Pan. Hornedness is explicit, but the line does not justify treating every occurrence of Zeus elsewhere as horned or replacing Pan’s entire identity with this one title.
