Pan Rituals of Ancient Greece
For the sake of Pan's love of noise, a ritual performance to Pan and the Nymphs involved the production of various sounds (e.g. clapping and laughter in Lucian Bis Accusatus, lines 9–10).
The aural qualities of caves, responding to these sound signals, would not have gone unnoticed by their followers.
To approach this god, the ritual protocol demanded noise, and the resulting resonating and echoing effects of caves would have been regarded as signs of his divine presence.
