Book 1, Chapter 22: Nemesis, Pan, and Saturn as the Sun

And that the discourse may return to the manifold power of the sun: Nemesis, who is worshipped against pride — what else is she than the power of the sun, whose nature it is to obscure shining things and take them from sight, and to illuminate what are in obscurity and offer them to sight?

Pan himself, whom they call Inuus, under this habit in which he is seen permits the more prudent to understand that he is the sun. The Arcadians worship this god, calling him the lord of matter (ton tes hyles kyrion), wishing it to be signified not as lord of the woods but as dominator of universal material substance, whose force of matter composes the essence of all bodies, whether they be divine or earthly. Therefore the horns of Inuus and the long drooping of the beard show the nature of light, by which the sun both illuminates the circuit of the upper heaven and surveys the lower regions, whence Homer says of him: "he rose, that he might bring light to immortals and to mortals." What the pipe or wand signify we have already expressed above in the habit of Attis. That he ends in goat's feet has this reason of argument: because matter, which is extended into every substance as the sun dispenses, when divine bodies have been effected from it, is finished in the element of earth. Therefore for a sign of this extremity the feet of this animal were chosen, because it was both earthly and yet always sought the heights in feeding, just as the sun, whether when he sends rays down upon the lands from above or when he gathers himself, is seen in the mountains. The love and delight of this Inuus is believed to be Echo, subject to no one's eyes, which signifies the harmony of heaven, which is dear to the sun as to the moderator of all the spheres from which it is born, and yet can never be caught by our senses.

Saturn himself, who is the author of times and is therefore called by the Greeks, with a letter changed, Cronos as if Chronos — what else is he to be understood than the sun, since the order of the elements is handed down as distinguished by multitude of times, laid open by light, bound by the bond of eternity, discerned by vision — all of which show the action of the sun?
