Fascinating info about the myth and lore of lilacs. Gorgeous flowers, with an equally gorgeous scent, but had no idea they were considered bad luck or associated with the dead. Thank you for sharing this with us.
I find the link to Greek mythology and Pan of great interest. British fantasy writer Arthur Machen in his famous story "The Great God Pan" (1894), depicted Pan as a Nosferatu-like being of immense power and mystery. An evil, but strangely alluring, supernatural force that corrupts everyone it touches, and even drives them to madness.
Brilliant of Eggers to include lilacs as a symbol for Ellen. He's definitely a very visual artist, with the wonderful use he makes of colors and textures in costuming, symbols, and sets. Even his lighting choices for scenes tell a story.
