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.
A humanized Satyr is depicted in a work of Praxiteles known as the  Resting Satyr . Greek spirits [non-classical] known as Calicantsars have a noticeable resemblance to the ancient satyrs; they have goats' ears and the feet of donkeys or goats or horses, are covered with hair, and love women and the dance.n the Dionysus cult, male followers are known as satyrs and female followers as maenads or bacchants.
