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.
The data further suggest this so-called Old Comedy was probably not the first form of comic drama performed at the Dionysia. Instead, pre-classical playwrights were composing short humorous satyr plays featuring boisterous bands of lusty, mischievous woodland spirits called satyrs.During the Classical Age, satyr plays followed the presentation of tragic trilogies, making them the oldest form of comic drama extant.he earliest known playwright of satyr plays is Pratinas âalso a tragic poet as discussed above (see Chapter 7)âwhom some scholars have suggested was, in fact, the inventor of the satyr play, at least in the form it was popularized later in the fifth century.
