Homeric Hymns
In Ancient Greek Mythology, Satyrs are male companions to Dionysus, the god of grape harvest, ritual madness, theater, and fertility. As followers of Dionysus, satyrs are known for their love of wine, women, and playing music on their pipes or flutes. Famous satyrs in mythology include Silenus, a satyr nurse to the Dionysus and a demi-god of excessive drunkenness and Tityri, a flute-playing satyr in the train of Dionysus. Satyrs are referenced in "The Homeric Hymns", Aesop's "Fables", "The Orphic Hymns", Ovid's "Metamorphoses" and "Fasti", and Virgil's "Georgics".
