Title A name given to the resource Poverty Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Limestone statuette of Pan Subject The topic of the resource "Cypriot deity of rural life and fertility" Description An account of the resource "This figure with the horns and ears of a goat wears an animal skin and holds a syrinx (double pipes) and a pedum (shepherd's crook). Images of this type first appeared in Cypriot sanctuaries during the Hellenistic period. They may represent Pan, the Greek god who protected herdsmen and shepherds, or they may be associated with Opaon Melanthios, a Cypriot deity of rural life and fertility, who is known from inscriptions." This object that was from the Cyprus society during the Hellenistic period tells us that the poor and homeless had their own gods or traditions to help them out through out their challenges. Specifically this object shows a reference to a Greek god named Pan who helped out the needy,shepherds and herdsmen. This object seems to be taken seriously since it would be found in Cypriot sanctuaries. Seems like many didn’t help out the poor, so the poor needed some type of help or someone to pray to. This object shows that the poor may have not been helped right away.
