In Greek mythology, a faun is a mythical creature that is half-human and half-goat. Fauns are often associated with nature, music, and fertility. They are known for their mischievous and playful nature, and are often depicted as followers of the god of wine and revelry, Dionysus. Fauns are commonly seen in ancient Greek stories as companions to woodland deities and as guardians of the forests.
The Greeks did not have a particular god or goddess who personified mischief. I think, however, that you are probably thinking about Pan, the half-goat god of the Wild.
