before sentence 1
after sentence 2
before sentence 3
after sentence 4

Answer 1

The quotation would be most effectively placed after sentence 4. This placement allows it to serve as a connection to Pan's influence on art and literature that the paragraph discusses, thereby further developing the idea of his popularity and impact over time.

So the revised paragraph would read:

1. The Greek god of sheep and shepherds was Pan. 2. Pan had the body of a man, with the horns, legs, and tail of a goat. 3. He played the pan flute, which he made of hollow reeds. 4. Pan became a popular character in art and literature over the years. In fact, Pan was “one of the great inspirations behind the childhood classic, Peter Pan” (Graham 79).
