"Panic"
"Panic" - etymology / mythology -
The word "panic" (referring to a sudden irrational fear) derives from the Greek god Pan. Pan was usually a peaceful deity of nature and shepherding, but when awoken abruptly he would cry out and startle nearby animals. Any unexplained stampedes were then thought to be "panikos" (or "Pan-related").
