Nimrod is also known as ìthe
Horned Oneî or ìthe horned
godî, another name for the
Greek great god Pan (right). Like
Nimrod, Pan is the son of
Hermes (Cush). This god has
been immortalized in the
childrenís tale, Peter Pan. Pan is
the god of shepherds and goats,
hence the legs and horns of a
goat. He is also closely tied to
the green man of witchcraft, a
nature god that protects the
forest. Pan was also alleged to
be responsible for unknown
attacks of fear ñ called panic.

Another animal that was associated with Nimrod was a bull. It could very well
be from these symbols: the Greek god Pan, a unicorn, a red coat and a bull that
we get the idea and imagery of a horned red devil.
But no matter what name he was known by, the symbol of Nimrod was always
the same ñ the sun.
Nimrod was also believed to be a giant, similar to those mentioned in the book
of Genesis.
ìThere were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that,
when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and
they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which
were of old, men of renown.î Genesis 6:
These have been compared to the giants mentioned in the book of
Deuteronomy.
ìThat also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in
old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims; A
people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims...î
Deuteronomy 2:20-
It is also quite possible that Goliath, the Philistine giant that David slew, (
Samuel, chapter 17), was part of the lineage of Nimrod.
