While on a investigation of a hunt, with the description of a human/goat-like creature, Sam and Dean Winchester stumble upon the lore on Pan, a satyr-god from the greek mythology. Dean at first doubts Pan's involvement with the case due to the representative image of Pan that Dean sees online, arguing that Pan is "adorable" and plays a flute. Sam goes on telling Dean about some lore on the characteristics of a satyr and the conversation drives off of the topic.

Lore[]
In ancient Greek religion and mythology, Pan (/pæn/; Ancient Greek: Πάν, romanized: Pán) is the god of the wild, shepherds and flocks, nature of mountain wilds, rustic music and impromptus, and companion of the nymphs. He has the hindquarters, legs, and horns of a goat, in the same manner as a faun or satyr. With his homeland in rustic Arcadia, he is also recognized as the god of fields, groves, wooded glens and often affiliated with sex; because of this, Pan is connected to fertility and the season of spring. The ancient Greeks also considered Pan to be the god of theatrical criticism. The word "panic" ultimately derives from the god's name.
