I believe Pan is well known, but the female goddess, it seems, do go very much, like you say, forgotten. With a little research, the female spirits are non only equal to the male counterparts, but in some regards play a more significant role. The Nymphs are very simular to the Sibyls. A few books that emphasis thier stories can be found painted on the Sistine Chapel and a pice called "Ornamentation of the Collegio del Cambio in Perugia" as they were also part of the Bible. In other books, I have found a lot of information about female spirits from Comte de Gabalis, Heraclitis, and Paracelsus.
Hey Aaron! They mentioned all over the new and old testaments. If your looking for it, you have to compare the original language to its English Translation. One instance, is in Acts, chapter 16:16. There is a woman mentioned, who had the spirit (Pnuema of Python), who had the gift as a seerer. She yelled out to the crowds that Paul and his Companions, were servants of the most high God.
Python or Pythos parellesl with female Phrophets of the Bible. A historian and Bishop of Rome named Hippolytus (170-235 CE), calls Mary of Magdalena the apostle to the apostles and the founder of a gnostic sect called the Naassenes. This word is rooted in the Hebrew word Nahas, meaning snake or the shining one- who as some interpret the first liberator of mankind.
It's interesting how so many of these spirits and goddesses were very much worshipped and respected in the more ancient times... it's great to remember their importance!
“Permanent, eggagerated erection.” Gotta love those Greeks.
Ha ha! They aren't messing around...

Where do they appear in the Bible?
Also if you want to go down a rabbit hole, I can mention the granddaughters of Moses and it's connection to the classical Sybils.
