A recent thread of mine was under attack for mentioning Pan from Greek mythology and Satan in the same post as one in the same.
Pan is the god of lambs/flock, shepherds, fertility, nightmares, love, and lust.
He is associated with other gods mentioned on this site with the same power/title.
Nightmares are said to be the devil's realm.
This possibly came from tales of women supposedly seduced by the devil in their dreams, becoming witches (long before similar real events).
Lust is one of the seven deadly sins, so Christianity put two and two together, and made the depiction of the devil as a satyr or goat man.
They tried to demonize Pan by inserting this likeness in Greek mythos and saying it is the pagan Pan, so although the origin of Satan is not Greek, essentially he is in Greek mythology.
The actual story did involve a snake corrupting Pan as a little faun, he did switch from faun (innocent and caring) to satyr (mean spirited bully), and he did devote his loyalty to Hades (above ground), but he didn't become Satan (in addition C.S. Lewis and Paramount have nothing to worry about now).
