Pitys is mentioned in Longus' Daphnis and Chloe (ii.7 and 39) and by Lucian of Samosata (Dialogues of the Dead, 22.4). [1] Pitys was chased by Pan—as was Syrinx, who was turned into reeds to escape the god who then used her reeds for his panpipes. The flute-notes may have frightened the maenads running from his woodland in a "panic."
Pan also loved a nymph named Pitys, who was turned into a pine tree to escape him. [43] In another version, Pan and the north wind god Boreas clashed over the lovely Pitys. Boreas uprooted all the trees to impress her, but Pan laughed and Pitys chose him. Boreas then chased her and threw her off a cliff resulting in her death.
Pan loved Pitys, a young nymph, who rejected his love. Pan chased her, but she fled from him, and she disappeared into the arms of Gaia, the earth, turning into a pine tree. In another version, Pitys chose Pan between him and Boreas, and Boreas, in anger, chased her and threw her off a cliff, killing her, thereupon Gaia turned her into a pine tree.

In other accounts, Boreas was the father of Butes (by another woman) and the lover of the nymph Pitys. In one story, both Pan and Boreas vied for Pitys's affections, and tried to make her choose between them. To impress her, Boreas uprooted all the trees with his might. Pan only laughed, and Pitys chose him instead of Boreas.
