In Greek mythology, a Satyr is a creature with the upper body of a man and the lower body of a goat. They were companions of the god Dionysos, known for their wild and playful nature, associated with wine and revelry. Satyrs continue to be influential figures in art and literature, symbolizing the untamed and primal aspects of nature.
