satyr [(say-tuhr)] [Roman name faun] A creature in classical mythology who was part man and part goat. Satyrs were famous for being constantly drunk and for chasing nymphs. They were companions of Dionysus. Note: By extension, a âsatyrâ is a lecherous male.
Perhaps the most famous centaur was Chiron (or Cheiron), known for his great wisdom and as the tutor of the god of medicine Asklepios and the heroes Hercules, Achilles and Jason (and his son Medeus). He is a shadowy figure in mythology and as only a minor character in many myths, details are scarce.he father of the race of centaurs was Centaurus, himself the offspring of Ixion who had made love to Hera, or more precisely, a cloud made by a jealous Zeus to resemble Hera. The centaurs were believed to live in the forests of Thessaly, beyond the laws of man.
