For that matter, it is really easy to imagine the Green Man (Man of 
Green?) in his natural habitat, behaving very much like a faun. He's not 
quite a fairy, as those people are beings of power and pomp. Fauns have 
none. But he lives in the green wood like a being more of it than in it.

Neighbors do seem to be a little of both. I'm skeptical of conflating 
them, but fauns are plainly an important literary forerunner to the Sun 
Cycle.
