Meaning
Pan rejoices among goatherds at springs and among cattle-herders (XI.8). The plural πίδακας locates him in a pastoral landscape supplied with water. The noun identifies the springs themselves, whereas related adjectives elsewhere characterize divine figures by their association with such places.
