Satyrs-What


In Greek mythology, satyrs are deities of woods and mountains. They are half man, half goat. The upper half of the body is human, while the lower half has a goat's tail, flanks, and hooves. Even though the upper part of the body is human, they also have the horns of a goat. Many satyrs are the companions of Dionysus, god of wine. They spend their time drinking, dancing, and chasing nymphs.
