Satir

This name derives from the Ancient Greek “Sátyros (σάτυρος),” meaning “God of the woods, a friend of Bacchus, goat-footed.” In Greek mythology, a satyr is one of a troop of male companions of Pan and Dionysus with goat-like (caprine) features, including a goat-tail, goat-like ears, and sometimes a goat-like phallus. In Roman Mythology, there is a similar concept with goat-like features, the Faun being half-man, half-goat. Greek-speaking Romans often use the Greek term Saturos when referring to the Latin Faunus and eventually syncretize the two. The term “satyr” has been used in some versions of the Bible, from the Hebrew “Se’ir / Śēʻîr,” a kind of hairy demon, probably a goat.
