SATYRS Forest deities, the Satyrs representedthe genial, luxuriant life in nature, which spreads over fields, woods and meadows.Companions of Dionysos, they exhibited typically some small sign of their bestial nature, as in tiny horns on the head, a small goat's tail, or suchlike. They were divided into three classes, thefirst and highest were those who nearly resembled their god, Dionysos, and whose occupation was either to play the flute for his amusement, or pour out his wine. The secondclass were older, and called Sileni, and the third, very young and juvenile, were known as Satyriski.
