- PAEAN (Gr. Hatay, epic Ration)), in See also:Homer (a v. 401, 899), the physician of the gods. In other writers the word is a See also:mere epithet of See also:Apollo (q.v.) in his capacity as a See also:god of healing (cf. larpb,aavres oaten), but it is not known whether Paean was originally a See also:separate deity or merely an aspect of Apollo. Homer leaves the question unanswered; See also:Hesiod (cf. schol. See also:Horn. Od. iv. 432) definitely separates the two, and in later See also:poetry Paean is invoked independently as a See also:health god. It is equally difficult to discover the relation between Paean or Paeon in the sense of " healer " and Paean in the sense of " See also:song." Farnell refers to the See also:ancient association between the healing See also:craft and the singing of spells, and says that it is impossible to decide which is the See also:original sense. At all events the meaning of "healer" gradually gave See also:place to that of " hymn, from the phrase 'See also:Ill Hatay. Such songs were originally addressed to Apollo (cf. the Homeric Hymn to Apollo 272, and notes in ed. by Sikes and See also:- ALLEN, BOG OF

Allen), a.nd afterwards to other gods, See also:Dionysus, Helios, Asclepius. About the 4th See also:century the paean became merely a See also:formula of adulation; its See also:object was either to implore See also:protection against disease and misfortune, or to offer thanks after such protection had been rendered. Its connexion with Apollo as the slayer of the See also:python led to its association with See also:battle and victory; hence it became the See also:custom for a paean to be sung by an See also:army on the march and before entering into battle, when a See also:fleet See also:left the See also:harbour, and also after a victory had been won. The most famous paeans are those of See also:Bacchylides (q.v.) and See also:Pindar (q.v.). Paeans were sung at the festivals of Apollo (especially the Hyacinthia), at banquets, and later even at public funerals. In later times they were addressed not only to the gods, but to human beings. In this manner the Rhodians celebrated See also:Ptolemy I. of See also:Egypt, the Samians See also:Lysander of See also:Sparta, the Athenians See also:Demetrius, the Delphians Craterus of Macedon. The word " paean " is now used in the sense of any song of joy or See also:triumph.
