=== Pan ===
After the Battle of Marathon (490) Pan replaced Hermes as the god most associated with nymphs—including the Corycian Nymphs in Corycian Cave.<ref name=":02" /> Due to this association, Pan became regularly worshiped at Corycian Cave.<ref name=":02" /> Those who lived near Mount Parnassus regarded Pan as the guardian of Corycian Cave.<ref name=":8" /> Many of those who lived and worked around Mount Parnassus were hunters or shepherds, and Pan is associated with these professions.<ref name=":72"/> Many of the votives and artifacts found in Corycian Cave can be tied to the cult of Pan.<ref name=":13"/> There is also epigraphic evidence of worship to Pan, as he is mentioned in inscriptions carved into one of the Walls in Corycian Cave.<ref name=":52">{{Cite journal |last=Lytle |first=Ephraim |date=2011 |title=The Strange Love of the Fish and the Goat: Regional Contexts and Rough Cilician Religion in Oppian's "Halieutica" 4.308-73 |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/41289748 |journal=Transactions of the American Philological Association |volume=141 |issue=2 |pages=333–386 |doi=10.1353/apa.2011.0010 |jstor=41289748|s2cid=162268311 }}</ref> Pan is also involved in an ancient ritual in which a shepherd will dress up as Pan and hunt for fish, and the fish will later be sacrificed to Pan after they are caught. This ritual is associated with Pan's involvement in the mythic battle between Zeus and Typhon—which culminated in Typhon being banished to Corycian Cave.<ref name=":52"/>
