Satyrs

Here is a list of articles in the Satyrs category of the Unsolved portal.

Articles relating to satyrs, male nature spirits with ears and a tail resembling those of a horse, as well as a permanent, exaggerated erection. Comically hideous, they have mane-like hair, bestial faces, and snub noses and are always shown naked. Satyrs were characterized by their ribaldry and were known as lovers of wine, music, dancing, and women. They were companions of the god Dionysus and were believed to inhabit remote locales, such as woodlands, mountains, and pastures. They often attempted to seduce or rape nymphs and mortal women alike, usually with little success.
