Unless Pan has had a sex change recently, he is a god, not a goddess. And you really mean "know", not "no".

G'day Monkey,
Thank you for your question.
Pan wasn't a goddess but a god in Greek mythology. He was the god of sheperds and their flocks. He had the legs and horns of a goat and was popular with people living in rural areas. He was known as a stud. He gave his name to the pan pipes. He was supposed to inspire fear in lonely places and gave his name to panic. His image was later usd to portray the devil.
I have attached sources for your reference.
Regards

Because Pan is a god, part of a religion, doesn't get much more important than that.
If you want info on him go to Wikipedia, it won't cost you any points and you'll get real answers.

Pan wasn't a goddess.
He was an old fertility deity, hence his goat-like appearance. He is also the root of our modern word 'panic,' since to see him would invariably produce great fear.
